Why am I starting this blog?

Those of you who somehow stumbled here from the deep recesses of the internet (or those who are lovely, supportive family and friends–thank you) may wonder why I’m starting a blog in 2021, when blogs are not all the rage that they once were. I realized that I needed to have an outlet for the thoughts that have been swirling in my head and that I have been, up to this point, typing out in the notes app of my iPhone.

But notes in your iPhone don’t do much good except take up storage space. And I realized that once the Lord puts a word in your heart, if you don’t share it, you’re essentially “hiding it under a bushel,” as the old children’s song states.

Hence the name of my blog, “Reluctant Extrovert.” I am an introverted woman of God who recognizes that in order to be obedient and share what the Lord is putting on my heart to share, I am choosing to be reluctantly extroverted. Because are we even growing in Christ if we’re not uncomfortable at least a little bit?

And as I have been known to do things in my own sweet time and not when all the cool kids are creating the blogs, well, here I am.

I hope that the thoughts swirling around in my brain will be a help, a hope, and maybe a comfort to those who are kind enough to read.
