Bible Study

Had my first night at my new Bible Study last night. It's the first time I've been in a group that was just men (11 men in a little room on a warm night= time to open a window), so it felt kind of unusual to me.

But it was good, and with all the others being a bit older than me, with older kids, I felt very appreciative of this chance to have some more mentor-type figures in my life, some older guys who have been through my life stage already. I think it's what I've wanted for a while, actually.

And though it made for a massive day, it was great timing having the first meeting after my day of speech maintenance. Those 'introduce yourself to the group' type scenarios are the bane of my existence, and in the past I would have been absolutely sweating, and pushing my way through, taking minutes and minutes to squeeze out a handful of words, while staring at the floor. Instead, I felt pretty confident and open, and said what I wanted to say. Even volunteered to read.. Unheard of!
