Approaching new people

Sometimes i wonder why i am doing what i am doing today. is this where i'm meant to be? My new job has not been going good. i work many hours, for very little pay and half my pay goes to petrol for driving to work (last few weeks it's been 45 min drives, that's 45 to, and 45 from, couple of times a week). Since i've started working i've considered quitting quite a number of times. i would've made more money in my last job, or any hourly paid job for that matter. i always wondered why i'm in this job and many other people wonder why to, and have asked me to find a new job or quit. but the whole time something just kept telling me to hang in there, stay on, don't leave prematurely (strangely this was mentioned in today's message at church), and see what happens, that good will come out of this. i guess i never knew until today's church service why. my job is commission based and to do well at the job you cannot afford to be shy. my main problem is approaching people who i've never met before and start talking to them. i remember in the early days of this job a girl i worked with (who also goes to my church) told me maybe in this job God is telling you to get over this fear of approaching people, (whereas he was telling her that it's not about her, or money, that it's about other people). Today at church one of the leaders asked me to meet this new girl and introduce myself to her and talk to her. when i approached her there was already a group of girls surrounding her, and i knew none of them. i kinda hung around outside the circle wondering if i should go and start talking to them, in the end fear gave in and i felt dsicouraged and walked away. and i still feel very disappointed in myself. i feel challenged and definately out of my comfort zone, so i guess it has to be a God thing. Maybe i'm meant to hang around in this job for that reason, to get over myself, and i know that once i do i can be successful. Already the few people who i do approach and talk to, they sign up, so if only i just approached everyone i could sign up lots of people and earn more money. but i do believe this is definately not a long term job and that if another job is offered to me i'll take it. before i got this job though i prayed for a job that will 1. have working hours that will suit me 2. have nothing to do with food, not a checkout chick, or sitting in an office behind a computer or phones 3. have people interaction 4. highly paid .... and this job is all the above except 4 but that's cos i need to make it happen. another good thing about it is that many of my colleges are Christians, and i've never been in a job before where this is the case. Whoa i can't believe i jsut went on and on about my job and fear of approaching people.... Signing off... going to church baptisms...shouldl be fun!!!
