Why I Love Meeting New People

My comfort zone is large. In fact, I don't really have a comfort zone. Trying new things, eating crazy, weird stuff, going to places alone, travelling, meeting new people sounds like Heaven to me. My comfort zone is doing something new. Meeting new people is definitely something I love.

I thrive when I meet new people. New people bring about a fresh perspective, personal experiences, new relationships, more laughs, and more love. I love meeting new people because I get to live vicariously through someone else when they tell me about themselves. I love meeting new people because it opens my eyes to things I had never considered before.

We might not agree on everything. We might not believe in the same God. We might look different and talk different. But honestly, we are all human. We can all relate on some type of field. We all love to talk about our family, our experiences, our favorite things, and through that, I can always relate with someone. I might not have met you, but give me 15 minutes and I hope I will have learned something new.

Meeting new people is good. It is scary sometimes. "What if they think I am weird?" "What if they think I am too opinionated or outspoken?" "What if they don't like me?" These are all questions that I think we all struggle with. We all want to be accepted by everyone. Being accepted is to be loved. Being accepted is validation in most of the world. We all try to look alike and be "normal" and blend in so we don't stand out, but why would we want to do that? We are our own persons. Being you is what makes you so special.

I want to meet new people because I can learn so much from them. I can have conversations that start relationships which leads to opening about my relationship with Christ. I want to meet you. I don't want to just meet you but I want to learn about you and know you. I want to learn from you and I want to be impacted by you. I want to impact you. I want to challenge you and your beliefs. Not perhaps to change them but as Christians "iron sharpening iron". Jesus loved new people. He accepted all people. I want to be the person that makes other people comfortable and makes time to talk and get to know you. I want to be more like Jesus.

I am connecting a link to a snippet of a song I recently purchased called "Angel Child" and if you have heard of "Duck Dynasty", Missy Robertson wrote this song for her daughter and I love this because Missy tells her daughter she is perfect as she is. Missy's daughter has had health problems which has resulted in a lot of surgeries, and Missy wrote this song as a love letter to her little girl. Missy says she is perfect just the way she is. And as a Christian, we are to accept all people, regardless of the way they look or talk or act. We are to love the people of the world and when we love the people we create relationships which leads to conversations about Christ. And through Christ, we can all relate to people around the world as brothers and sisters in Christ. Enjoy!
