Our Strengths and Weaknesses

Posted on Friday, September 30, 2016

I might be the most extroverted person you will ever meet. Like I need 0 alone time, 0 down time. My whole life I have jam packed my schedule to always be going and doing something. My mom was ecstatic when I got my driver’s license so she didn’t have to shofer me around. I guess God is using this period of my life to test that. I have been living alone for almost 3 months now, something I never dreamed would happen. And while I’m being honest here, I have been having a hard time making friends. As a recent college grad, this is the first time in my life I am not surrounded by people of the same age 24/7. Add in the fact that deep conversations about people’s feelings and dreams are still beyond my Spanish skills, and you can see my predicament. Then my American team members had to return to the States, and things around the office started to slow down. No longer could I constantly busy myself with meeting and projects. So basically every extrovert’s fear-being alone with nothing productive to do. And I guess if you think this is interesting enough for you to still be reading this, I’ll be even more raw with you. As a 23 year old single Christian girl from the south there is a lot of pressure to “settle down,” (every Sunday morning’s facebook feed-only wedding photos). I guess this is what being in your 20's is about, right? Finding yourself and all that jazz. Down the road I think I’ll realize that God was teaching me not to ‘settle’ for someone out of fear of being alone. And sometimes I won’t be in charge of donating eggs to children, starting reforestation projects or saving the world, sometimes all I can do is worship God, and that is always enough.
