It has been too long since my last post. I have a few in the draft stage so they should be appearing shortly. There is a lot going on in my brain but I want to write something so I will just touch on what I am really thankful for right now and that is great conversations.
I have been blessed with many new relationships this year. I am getting some great opportunities to develop these relationships and I have seen growth recently. This is really exciting for me because I have been waiting a long time for this. The timing of these new bonds correlates directly with things that I have been learning this year. My heart was not ready before but God has been shaping me and showing me a lot of things.
This past week I have had great conversations with several people and I hated for them to end. For the quantity of people we see every day, we get so little quality face time with others. I find this very frustrating because I want to know people. Today I was able to sit down with someone for more than two hours and talk about God and about life and it was wonderful! Tomorrow I am meeting up with two of my dear friends from college and I only hope I can offer them inspiration and encouragement as they have so often given me these things.
About me
My love language is quality time and that involves a lot of conversation. I feel most appreciated and cared for when people will sit down and just talk to me. I will admit that sparking this conversation with me may not be the easiest thing to do. I can be rather quiet because I don't like small talk. I want to get to the important stuff. If I am in a group and I'm sitting there like I don't want to talk to anyone, don't be fooled. Please come talk to me. During our talk, if I tell you something about myself it's because I want you to feel comfortable sharing yourself. Please don't let me leave the conversation feeling like it was all about me. I want to hear about you.
Until next time,
Shep ♥
