I love how you can now appreciate and pray a prayer of gratitude for the qualities in others. I must say, I need to work on that. I sometimes find myself feeling a tad bit jealous wondering why they are such and such and I am not. I like your change of perspective and will be working on that. Thank you - once again, you are amazing! Okay, so I am just now reading this because I knew it was something I would need to give thought too.

I crave alone time but I can imagine how difficult it must be for you to find yourself alone so often. I'm humbled to read that you so desire to pour yourself into ministry~I suspect God's lifted you out of service to renew you and it's just a matter of time before He's put you back into ministry...and I also suspect He's been using you all along in small quiet ways...Love to you and prayers~ Jenn~I’m so drawn to those with a personality like yours.

Kudos for tackling it, Robin!You've given me food for thought. I can tell you I definitely feel like I am hitting my stride in my early 40's. Much more comfortable in my own skin.I have to agree with Julie too, writing again is truly giving me a piece of myself I've been missing for awhile. I'm hoping the rest of the revelation or the waking if you will is within my grasp. Thanks for such a thought provoking post!Hugs to you! I’ve heard that “Till We Have Faces” is a very weighty read.

as an extrovert, i don’t do well with alone time, but in the last 5 years, i’ve tried to relax into it without much success. we moved here in ’06, and i felt like the striving ratcheted up a few notches as i worked to make all things work.

it wasn’t until the past few weeks that i have begun to feel i have a fingernail’s grasp on what God has been up to in all this: i’m not supposed to be striving so hard. i’m supposed to relax and let Him do the work in me He intends to do. it’s not my job to figure out what it is and do it!

so, the long answer is, yes, i feel like a dream walking around in the real world these days. shyer than i’ve ever been, but perhaps more real than before. all i know is that i want to be free to experience the love God has for me, so i continue walking toward the light.

thanks for being real, robin.
