I was a bit worried that I did not know what to talk about when I was with my friends. What if I only responded with an "oh" if they told me anything. Will they find me boring and will I be left alone eventually?

I started feeling like this around a month ago. I don't know how did this feeling come about. I told mum about it and she advised me to read more newspapers (so that I have more topics to talk about) and just keep asking questions. The Holy Spirit brought into remembrance of what Pastor preached in church. To be quick to listen and slow to speak and anger. So, I know that being quiet is good but not to the extend of being too quiet and reserved. Anyway, I am a gentle and feminine girl. Can a talkative girl be also gentle and feminine? Please comment.

I read a bible passage from E-Min just now. In the book of Acts, Paul talked about all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spending their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas. The prayer was: LORD, words are important, but some people are all talk and no action. They may sound good and give an appearance of importance, but their actions tell a different story. Mere talk about good ideas can never take the place of following Your direction and leadership i n a timely and appropriate manner. I want to recognize You when You speak, understand what You say, and then do it without hesitation. I want what I am to be evident by what I do and not just what I say. You designed me with two ears, eyes, hands, and legs, but only one mouth. Help me listen and act more than I talk. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The words in pink struck me. Yes. I don't want to be all talk and no action. There is a famous saying that actions speak louder than words. I was never a person who spoke only and did not do anything. And, I always kept to my word. It is amazing that God created us with everything two but only one mouth. That means He wants us to speak less.

I know I can also be evident by what I do and what I say. That means whatever I say I will do, I will do. And I will also be quick to listen. But I also want to be an interesting person.
