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.
