You might notice my fancy tagline underneath my the blog title..."turning inward, focusing upward."
Turning inward comes from the definition for what introversion is, and I believe that the ability to turn inward enables me to become more self-aware, and the more self-aware I become, the more I understand how desperate I should be for God.
The whole idea of self-awareness has been a game changer for me and how approach life. It has enabled me to understand that I am not always good and I'm not always right. The game changing aspect is not only to understand those Truths, but also to seek to correct them. And I as I turn inward, I am humbled because I see how much I fall short...and I rejoice in God's grace because of that.
So my introversion has enabled to turn inward, to see myself for what I am, and by the grace of God, I'm learning that I need to allow Him to change those parts of me. The ability of turning inward, focuses me upward.
I believe there are a lot of advantages to being an introvert, and one such advantage is I believe we have the ability to become more self-aware. What benefits do you think there are?

Embrace the Introverted Soul
Introverted (Webster's definition)- to turn inward as to concentrate upon oneself.
Have you ever been called an introvert as an insult? Have people ever wondered why you're so quiet or think something is wrong with you that you just don't have anything to say? Well it's time to liberate the introvert, because I see tremendous value in Webster's definition because in that definition I see someone who is focused on humility, on being thoughtful with their responses, and listening.
I will be diving into what it means to be an introvert, and often seeing how it helps and hinders me as a spiritual leader in my family and in the church.
"Be still and know that I am God"- Psalm 46:10
It's time to embrace that because I am an introvert, I am able to so easily turn inward (as Webster's would say) and be still.
