When I hid myself behind my mothers knees, as she dropped me off to children’s ministry.
I internalized my cry.
I was tired of moving around, now that we had a big new church to go along with our new home.
The words that I wanted to hear, she couldn’t whisper into my ear.
“Baby me too, Mommy sometimes feels shy when meeting someone new.”
We’re more than conqueror’s through Jesus Christ.
I love how you boldly sang before our old church, and you can do that here and so much more my dear.
Everyone is inside, waiting to learn about God from you.
You can go in there and willingly learn from them too.
Remind yourself that your smart, funny and you’ll soon make new friends, baby I’ll see you after service.
Mommy loves you and knows how strong you are, even when feeling shy.
Be bold and reflect God’s light.
Lastly, God is our peace of mind when feeling shy, and most of all you will be fine because you are more than this feeling we call shy.”
