AM 2011 - Stage 6 - Day 5
This past Sunday, I went to a new church that's closer to where I live because I'm currently without a vehicle and couldn't go to my normal one. It occurred to me on my way home that I hadn't even been nervous about it. I just went and jumped into the discussion and talked to people like I'd been a normal attendee for a long time without a second thought.
It was an extremely awesome experience for me, especially in contrast to a similar situation from a couple of years ago where I was nervous and avoiding people because I was too self-conscious and too willing to assume that people wouldn't really like me.
The vast difference between the two experiences still blows my mind even a couple of days later.
