Who, Me?

I am now qualified as an MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) Specialist. I attended a week-long workshop and passed the qualifying test. I introduced the program to my church yesterday, along with my newly written testimony on how I became a believer. I will be teaching a four-week workshop (1-2 hours once a week).

WAIT!! REWIND! Did I say that I spoke in front of a group of people? Moi? And willingly? And also shared my testimony? A few years ago, even six months ago, it would have been unthinkable. I used to fear public speaking more than death. What has happened to me? After the initial few minutes, the fear disappeared. It even felt good. I got a rush. Wow.

I never knew this about myself.

I know this will sound corny and all... But I really truly believe it is the work of the Holy Spirit. Whenever fear starts to grip me, I lean harder into my faith in Christ, meaning that I let go of trying to control things and just jump, with my eyes on him. And then suddenly, I'm not afraid of falling. The freedom in that is almost impossible to describe...

Go ahead! Roll your eyes at me. :-)
