RichinCHRIST'Sriches, I am praying for Lexi! What a great opportunity for her! I pray she can do it! I am very shy and have been through a lot too, but I finally learned at 36 that I’m too old to be scared and I’m finally pushing myself out of my comfort zone too… going on a mission trip by myself with no one I know. I’m glad she is doing this conference and I hope she can make some great connections!! I wish her all the best!! Just warn her not to be 36 and single, never married, no kids, and almost no friends due to shyness, allowing trauma to hurt too long, not finding the right people to be around because they lied about their intentions and being overly exhausted at work. I hope she can learn this lesson many years before I did. I am praying for her to be brave and conquer all her fears while being scared. Im scared, but I’m going to do the things I want to do anyways. I pray for her!! Lord, use her opportunity to allow her to be brave and network and find like minded friends. Amen!!!
