During lunch everyday I eat in the Ag room at a munchkin( I do mean munchkin) table with three close friends, (We have trouble fitting two). Today, as I'm sitting in my munchkin chair, my Ag teacher walks in and started talking about our upcoming FFA banquet, which has been moved due to swine flu, she immediately asks the other three at the table about saying a prayer during the banquet. I'm usually not one to throw my hand up, especially when not asked. What happened? something came through me, without thinking I blurted out "what about Shaina!" Ok, maybe it is time I come out of my bubble, it is just out of the ordinary for me to out-right volunteer to do something like that. I have stage fright... terrible stage fright! During our weekly bible study of about 8-10 I won't read, I won't pray, you are lucky if I even crack a joke! Last year at our banquet, I think there was around 100 people. That is 90 more than my bible study... Oh great. I am rather excited about this opportunity, it gives me a chance to put myself out there and hopefully conquer what has been holding me down. From there I can keep building until I have reached complete complacency( I think I used that word right, correct me if I am wrong.)
I'm so proud of you for putting yourself out there! I predict you will soon be so addicted to speaking in front of people that you will go to state in Creed speaking and run for state FFA office. Ok maybe thats a little far, but it's awesome that you're getting out of your box.

I'm so proud of you! I am way pumped that you are doing that! I think you will do great :) Especially if I am not there to intimidate you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I won't take offense to the fact that you started a blog due to my poor efficiency in keeping up with it! I'm aiming for 4 per week, though it's been a little lower.
PS - you used complacency correctly!
