Hi Ursula,
Good of you to welcome me...Much appreciated...
Actually I am shy and always have been.
I was born with a genetic chemical imbalance which made me hypersensitive to emotional and physical pain.
Absolute terror of rejection was a real curse also. I could never say no to anyone and was also a thrill seeker (due to my sensitivity everything was an adrenalin rush), which put me in situations that were highly stressful for my condition.
God always compensated for the conflagration in which I existed by giving me extraordinary blessings (In family, education, locations, church, employment, finances, and especially marriage and spirituality).
God called me early in my life and my spiritual life has been so wonderful, especially since years ago I surrendered and made God and Jesus the sole focus of my life.
I still have difficulty expressing myself verbally and get into lots of unpleasant situations by being misunderstood...Not too bad in writing when I have time to edit, etc. Still I am hesitant to jump in the deep end here.
Thanks...pleased to meet you...

Hi Harold,
I hear you, and I also was always very shy, mainly due to my family of origin situation, and also just my temperament. I lived in a very chaotic household with lots of anger and dysfunction. I am also highly sensitive but it is how God arranged it and I'm now thankful for it. What you said about the terror of rejection also rang true for me when I was younger. Since I began this journey with the Lord, in the past few years, that seems to be leaving me, because when you walk with God, you definitely are rejected by the world and by the church. So, by desensitization, that fear certainly lessens. Remember, we are a peculiar people. Thank God! It is an exciting journey! And there is so much more in store for us!
Yes, the nice thing about writing and posting on the forum is that you can sit back with your cup of tea, relax and take your time. So, please don't hesitate, because you are valued here, and it would be great to hear much from you.
Love,
Ursula
