Confidence that's unshakable because it is in Him.<br /><br />btw, I totally laughed on this one:<br /><br />"When I did get more aggressive with him, he complained, “I didn’t mean with me!”Bonnie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331275947237285245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-75034129687610708422011-01-13T16:48:22.052-06:002011-01-13T16:48:22.052-06:00Great post, Glynn.

I find I'm very laid back on the outside and overachieving/hard-on-myself inside. Definitely an interesting dynamic to work with. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-48708189323046952232011-01-13T16:45:13.736-06:002011-01-13T16:45:13.736-06:00"I don’t shout about my faith; I never have. ..."I don’t shout about my faith; I never have.

(Shocking, I know.) But I've learned that it is often the quiet people, the ones whose actions mirror their words that are well worth paying attention to. You are such a person. I have great admiration and respect for you, Glynn. For what you say, and even for the things you don't say.

Friendly with a heavy does of introspection that tempers my extroversion.<br /><br />And I know that speaking of my 'faith' challenges me -- because I too do not like conflict. And I do not like to make people feel uncomfortable. and more than anything -- which is something I admire and appreciate about you -- I do not like to challenge others' opinions of me.<br /><br />You have taught me a great deal int he time i've been coming here -- and one of the greatest is to stand true to my beliefs.

I like how you put it that it’s less about what we say, more about who we are. Thanks for sharing another piece of your life with us here. It’s encouraging.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-63678871704438283412011-01-13T07:15:36.144-06:002011-01-13T07:15:36.144-06:00In the new testament, i read often about the disci...In the new testament, i read often about the disciples being "filled with the Spirit and they went out boldly speaking."<br /><br />Seems like a direct connect.David Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765017700988820676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-62993225938797051822011-01-13T06:31:14.820-06:002011-01-13T06:31:14.820-06:00I could have written this post word for word about...I could have written this post word for word about myself.

Trusting Him, though, has led me that place of discomfort--to being the one who stands up to say, "Now wait a minute...I'm not sure this is right". It's not a natural place for me to be. <br /><br />I agree with you also, that work is an extension of our faith. And how cool that your friend and co-worker was following your blog without your knowledge. <br /><br />You have inspired me to be bold today.
