Introvert or extra?

I've always considered myself an extrovert. Why shouldn't I? I love inviting people over to my house and being the host (coffee anyone?). I can be extremely talkative sometimes and will say anything that comes to mind. These are the time when I tend to become annoying and obnoxious. At other times though, I don't feel comfortable around people, don't have much to say, and just feel like getting away. This has happened quite a few times here in my house(International Soup House). I don't mind it when people come over (I invited them over didn't I?), I just can't be with them the whole time. I've also noticed that how much sleep I get the night before also effects how much "group" I can take. Two summers ago I asked both my parents if they thought if I was intro or extra. Both of them told me intro. Huh. I guess they know me better than anyone. We lived in a rather large house while visiting the United States so our family members would come together in our home. That house was packed full of people from all ages and sexes. Both my 5th grade year and sophomore year my mom would find me sitting by myself reading a book or listening to music in my room. I'm not anti-social, I just feel tired when there are too many people around and would rather just sit, listen, and think. I like taking walks and talking one on one. I'm not shy, just an introvert!

Ha...I love this guy. I'm not sure why but my humor fits the White Ninja comic strip pretty well. Some things no, most things yes.

Morning Dew


"Morning Dew is a (EARLY) morning service that happens on the first Thursday of every month. We are doing this because some students want to glorify the Lord by giving up their sleep and use the time to focus on God. We know it's early and giving up sleep (especially if you don't have to) is a sacrifice, but I've personally experienced that this is a really good time to refocus on God. Feel free to bring roommates and friends. Coffee and banana bread will be provided."

I wasn't sure if Morning Dew was going to be a "success" or just a bunch of Soupies getting together to worship and learn about God. About 15 people showed up, about 10 more than I expected. Not bad for 7 am on a Thursday morning (when most people get to sleep in and recuperate from their week). I wasn't too worried about the amount of people coming over even though I was running around making sure that all the bases were covered. After asking four people to lead worship Ian finally agreed and did a great job! Dr. Jones (my mentor) shared from 1 Samuel, about the people of Israel wanting a king to rule them.

Even though I am the "Bishop" (aka president) of Mu Kappa, I see the Soup House as part of my ministry and want to provide as many opportunities for people to grow as possible. Coming up on the Soup House plate: shirts and a Christmas party on the 21st of October. I'll be posting a few photos of our neighborhood dinner that we hosted back in September.
