Today, I am going to go to something new – it’s a women’s bible study group….
Those that know me well, know just how much anxiety this would cause me. In my mind I am scrolling through all the reasons why I shouldn’t go, can’t go, don’t want to go.
Now when I say group, Women@10 as it is call, is a large group of women that is comprised of smaller groups and sure, while I will know some people there…may even have some “friends” there (meaning people, I might converse with but otherwise would never hear from outside of church) what if…..
What if the people I do know are cliquey with other people?
What if I get put in a group with no ladies I know and no ladies I can relate to?
What if no one talks to me?
The last time I was part of a mom’s group/women’s bible study I always felt like the odd one out – like I had three heads. I just don’t generally get along with women. I don’t speak their language. Female friends have never come easy and so while I know it is something I “should” do and could potentially be great resulting in lasting friendships and a deeper knowledge of the Bible, I know it could just be a painful experience and become a tedious commitment.
Does anyone else feel this way? Ready? 1, 2, 3 Jump!
**Okay, so I was scrolling the web for an image to use and came across this from Skinny Mom.
Aaahhh, it gave me a good laugh. Apparently I don’t feel confident and happy because of my lack of social circle and I just need to whip out that phone…oh wait, I don’t have anybody to call…unless they can make an impromptu flight from Alberta, or Houston, or Maple Bay…**
