Immersion

I found a new book to obsess over. I haven't had this feeling since John and Stasi Eldredge's Captivating and Wild at Heart. The title is The Temperament God Gave You, written by Art and Laraine Bennett. It's awesome in so many ways because it really boils down the 4 basic temperaments that people will fall under, all the while defining the strengths and weaknesses of each temperament and how to deal with your spouse or child and their temperaments. It's brilliant.

Anyways, I checked out my university's Catholic community today. I had no idea what to expect, but so far, I like what I see. I think it's time that I find myself a community who can keep me accountable and with whom I can grow with. The last couple of years have been a bit dodgy for me spiritually and it's time that I find myself a home, however temporary.

I've signed up for music ministry. An unnatural step for me, as I am more used to people asking me to lead praise in vocals as opposed to my volunteering. But I'm getting tired of waiting for people to approach me in order for me to serve. It's not a very attractive habit and I think I can learn a lot by simply offering what I've got. I don't go out of my way to offer myself to people, really, so hopefully I will learn how to be more generous.
