That one pops into my mind all of the time. <br /><br />I know exactly how you feel and, actually, I almost texted you last week during a poor-pitiful-me vent session about the same topic.

Sigh, I am the super-quiet-unless-you've-known-me-for-forever girl, the non-flirty girl, the keep-to-herself-and-chew-on-her-words-tightly-before-she-spews-'em girl and the people that God has consistently thrown into my life path recently have been the complete polar opposites of myself. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to learn from having to deal with certain *loud* and *needy* and *drama lovin'* people. I really don't. But I know that God must certainly have a reason. There must be something for me to learn from these people that I haven't yet.<br /><br />So, thank you for sharing your quiet heart and your own perspectives on *certain* people. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my feelings on all this!

I wish I could learn the lesson God wants me to learn from the types of difficult people I have in my life, but then again I don't think learning could be rushed. <br /><br />Thanks for being comforting and sobering me up.

My tactic has been turning up the charm a notch or 10 to compensate for the frustration I feel. I don't know that it's actually helpful to me, but that's all I have to combat it right now. <br />By the way, which Niequist book is that message in?algvtmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901172079382638827noreply@blogger.com
