Thoughts about Small Group

I am relatively new to the small group system of my church, but I am so happy after I started to get more involved with the group. I am not a person who like to initiate conversations to new people so I appear to be distant and solemn. My ex-roommate said that she thought I was scary before she got to know me better because I never smiled.

I guess I am just guarded around new people. Opening myself up to strangers makes me feel extremely vulnerable, and I don't like it very much. However, once I move pass that stage, I become extremely open, and I talk about things that people normally don't want to know or talk about.. :D I'll just say sorry in advance to my new friends, BEWARE!

Getting back to the small group, after meeting with the small group regularly, I start to get more comfortable with everyone in the group, and I was very happy that all my small group members were there for my baptism to show their support and join me afterwards to celebrate my rebirth and birthday.

I also got the chance to talk to individuals or couples outside of small group time, and I really enjoy it. I treasure the new friendships that I found and I look foward to the new friendships that I am going to develop in the future.
