Probably a bunch of random thoughts

Today's meeting showed me something very encouraging about how God works and how all things He does for His glory and our good. We where discussing some personality tests we took and how we would react in certain situations (i.e. what do you do when your tired or hungry?) and as we talked about these things I kept thinking about work and how the things that have been happening at work have prepared me for these questions. I know that these questions are being asked because that is what we will be experiencing in Cambodia. A random assortment of questions from tonight are: How do you act when you are tired? How do you act when you are hungry? How do you handle conflict with other people? Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Are you more practical or theoretical? There where more questions but I want to get to the encouraging part.

The encouraging part:
At work I have been given more and more responsibility, not that I thought it was a good idea, but because others have seen things that make them think I can handle it. I have been pulled out of a "computer guy" role and placed into a "customer oriented" role. Which basically means I need to interact much more with people and be extroverted. Now with power of hindsight I can see that I have been growing in my extrovertedness (is that even a word?) since my second year of college. I used to be very introverted and shy, but I can see God's work in bringing people and events into my life which have caused me to become less introverted and able to communicate better with the people around me. I know that if I where still as introverted as I was a few years ago I would probably not be going on this missions trip, not that God can't work with 100% introverts (because He can), but He has allowed me to change which is a great testament to God's unlimited power and sovereignty in all things.

Not sure if that made sense, but in a nutshell: I definitely see the mighty power of God working in my life, maybe not at the exact moment that it happens, but over time. That to me is very exciting and humbling, knowing that God can use even someone like me for His purpose and His glory.
