[__ Prayer __] prayer, i guess?

I really admire him and just wish we would keep in touch more.
Isn't that selfish though? I want him to be benefited as much as I will be, want to be...
It's just that I'm too shy. :/ And I don't want him to be stuck with so much responsibility being with me since it's hard for me to get myself to talk...it would take quite a while for him to get me to open up. I blank out every time someone tries to speak to me. What to do, I like him so much and it hurts that I'm not able to be with him because of my communication issues. I could be so capable if I just wasn't so shy but open and outgoing...
But what about freewill? Will God not grant me close friendship with him because of freewill?
I have really bad Social Phobia and I'm so frustrated because I'm only a kid and I feel like I'm wasting my life away. It's really depressing me because I can't do anything about my problems not even get any professional help...

RainRainRain,

I shall pray that God gives you the strength and courage to do what you need to do also that His will be done in your life with this situation. For His will is always best for us. Nor will He lead you astray. Will be rooting for you.

May God Bless You

Praise the Lord. I couldn't have said it better myself. In the meantime, the greatest cure for your social shyness is the love of Christ. Obeying Jesus' commandment of loving one another. If it's difficult for you to speak to or approach others, then just love them the best you know how, not just in word but in deed. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, for it is written that the Lord has poured out His love in us with the Spirit. God bless you, sister, and seek the will and knowledge of the Lord always before your own.

rainrainrain~ :waving

I just love the rain, it is so beautiful when it softly waters the plants, and even in strorms it is powerful and awesome. It makes little eddies, have you ever watched the way rain can make a path, can gather up leaves or fallen flowers and sweep them away into pools so still and quiet?

That's why I love your user name... It makes me think of one of the lovliest creations of God. It makes rainbows possible too, ya know? Pretty things rainbows, unique one time events.

Now, the way you are in personality is a good thing. It is so okay to be shy. Why do I say that? Because it was God Who formed you in your mothers womb, He created your personality too, and He really LIKES the way He made you. He will continue to work on you~ molding and shaping His creation in you~ as long and as deeply as you allow Him to. :D

There is a specialness to a shy person, the world says its bad, something to be counseled out of. The world is dumb.

I know~ because my youngest daughter is shy, and though she struggles to add to conversations even now at times, and she is 30, she is the most tender-hearted woman I know. She has the gift of mercy, and walks in the fruit of the Spirit so much more than I. Best of all, in her quiet ways she can reach out to younger gals who are unreachable to more out-going types. She has patience to wait to hear them out, she is a really good listener. Many shy people are. :yes

I say all this, to try to encourage you to wait and watch, to trust in the Lord, in all your ways
(in the way He made you) and do not lean on your own understanding (of this situation) but in all your ways recognise Him (that He is at work on you... that He only makes beautiful people) and he will direct your path... THATS a PROMISE. And God never breaks His promises! :shades

In Jesus quietness and peace, where we may find rest... I will pray for you. bonnie
