Hahaaaa well God is GOOD, brother. i used to cuss really bad, and i was very loud, and knew how to "bass" my voice (it's a long long story)....i used to be very timid and back in 2nd grade i stopped speaking. The school referred me to a psychologist who tied some pieces together and it had to do with me being in a foster home and the dynamics there that more or less shut me down. It was after i was with my husband and horrendously abused that God just sorta' raised me from ashes, so to speak, and in the raising, i was released from my "shell", but i was like a lioness, but like a cussin' one....it was so bad i'd make up cuss words. And i was loud. The lioness came out with bullies, and those who meant harm. Well God, in His timing, channeled all of that. The cussing eventually stopped. He channeled the "lioness" and i became a "voice" for the forgotten, cast aside, abused, and despised (this was about the time that He put a seed of love in my heart for the Jewish people, after hearing/seeing/reading what had happened to them, and for any suffering injustice...many times in silence).
I became loud, if i needed to be "heard" or if i needed to remind anyone that injustice is wrong, etc. i defended the abused, and in the most forgotten of victims. i became their "voice" when they had none.
I was/am no longer excruciatingly shy. God revealed to me that His intention for me was never that i would be in "hiding" and "shut down".
This kinda' reminds me of what He did for me:
