what a wonderful way to express yourself - you really are a great writer! I believe I am both depending not on my own insecurities but what the situation requires. Who is making up the group, what is the need etc... and how I feel Gods prompting in my heart!

I'm mostly a blender, with a dash of leader when it is needed! ;) I agree that the world needs both. I get silly at parties and don't mind bringing attention to myself to make sure that everyone is having fun. But if there's a great leader around, I'm your man (or woman) to get things done! I'd much rather the responsibility of leader fell to someone else. I can take direction and run with it. I come from a great line of followers. Great, hard working, caring bunch of people. I'm proud to be one of them.

I'm definitely a follower and always have been. I admire the leaders but I guess it's just not in me to be one.I remember when I painted all my husband's white shirts pink.
great post!

Gosh I'm a little of both i think but probably more of a blender... i've changed with age though. I'm going to ask my husband what he thinks. Great post,

Ok,I am totally out of the loop! Which Beth Moore book are you talking about?? Please tell me! :)

So sorry about the pink clothes! REdo the cycle and add some bleach--he'll never know!!

Love you!

Oh my goodness! I just did this same thing, but with very dramatic results!! A whole load of towels now a terrible shade of magenta! As to your question... I've always been a follower... Sometimes this is a good thing and other times it's terrible! Much more secure in who I am though now that I'm older! :) Great post!

I teeter back and forth between the too...guess that is my insecurity. Work in progress every day...

I loved this post. Don't we all struggle with something that we would like to change?!

Dh tried to tell me reds don't bleed anymore & I don't have to wash them separately. May have to send him this link.

Going to hear Beth Moore speak in Atlanta in April on So Long Insecurities. Can't wait! Looking forward to the book too. Jackie

2010-01-20T16:17:26.658-06:00

I'm a little of both...more tend to rather blend and I think it is ok either way. That's what makes us, us :o)

Great post Susie Q ~

2010-01-20T15:49:16.130-06:00

I was pink when I was younger and have become more of a "red shirt" with each passing year. Have I become more of a leader or am I just becoming a grouchy old lady who says what she thinks? It's unclear... and I think that's okay because I like me.

When I was younger I was the red shirt, now I try ...

2010-01-20T15:37:55.857-06:00

When I was younger I was the red shirt, now I try to be more of a blender. We learn and change sometimes, don't we??

2010-01-20T15:29:31.925-06:00

I've always been that red shirt... I have often wanted to blend... tried to blend, but it doesn't work... and yes, I tend to leave a mess on all the white towels I emcounter... I hope they like the pink I leave in my wake... I'm a red shirt... it's how I'm made... I can't help it.

Hi Susie. I think I am a little of both. However,...

2010-01-20T15:21:32.231-06:00

Hi Susie.
I think I am a little of both. However, when I lead it is done quietly. Not boisterously. I guess it is just my personality. :o)
Isn't Beth Moore such a blessing?! Gosh, she has helped me grow so much through the years. :o) She is so gifted with bringing the truth out in such a way that we can apply it directly.
You are a sweet heart Susie! :o)

2010-01-20T15:06:20.058-06:00

Depending on the circumstances, I may blend in or stand out. I can talk to strangers better than people I know sometimes. I have nothing to lose!! Great analogy!!

2010-01-20T15:04:51.994-06:00

I tend to blend in...but every once in a while, like the red shirt in your laundry I will just BUST OUT...it's not always a good thing...

Beth Moore is simply amazing...

Great post!

2010-01-20T14:48:41.977-06:00

I read this post once and didn't write a comment....and then I came back. The thought hit me.....I WANT to be one that stands out....but I find sometimes that I am one that blends in. As a Christian, I want to stand out! I don't want to be consumed by this world and just look like anyone on this Earth. I want people to look at me and see that I AM a Child of God and that I am a Christian. I want them to see me and KNOW without a doubt that God lives in my heart and life......sometimes I wonder, DO people see that? Do I stand out? Lord help me!

Thanks for this post.....it made me think...I just had to stop for a minute. :)

2010-01-20T14:35:32.514-06:00

Bummer!! I've had that happen before. As to which I am- I'm gonna say i'm the shirts with the pink blotches- a nice blend of both a leader and a follower ;)

2010-01-20T14:27:12.578-06:00

Oh Susie. I am waiting so anxiously for Bethie's book too. I have banded together a little group of girlfriends and we are going to do it together.

I needed this post specifically today based on my heart feeling so heavy, and worrying that I should try harder to just blend in rather than share what I feel. It was great encouragement, even if what I just wrote here makes absolutely no sense to ya.

Blessings,
Sasha

Love Beth Moore (although her videos are a little bit too long for me to keep my attention). I just started Kelly Minter's "No Other Gods" this morning as part of my church study, and I really like it!

Can't wait to see what Beth's new book is about!

2010-01-20T12:51:15.790-06:00

I think I used to be a leader...and now I am a follower. It is a lot of work being a leader and at some point it is not worth it...at least for me. Dianntha
