Can’t use you if you don’t move

We all have heard it said that G-d can only use us when we are willing to step forward. She had referred to me as a Rabbi wife and I said No I am not one yet. Which is true, my husband doesn’t have the title but people are seeing him as a Rabbi. We always correct. I was sharing with my friend today about I just recently started letting people get to know me. I am not sure how we got on the topic. I had shared with her something she didn’t know, I thought I had shared it with more people but clearly I hadn’t because she was surprised I took guitar lesson.
Speaking of that I need to change the time on the calendar, I had shared with her I wanted to be able to play better than my ability right now. I shared with her a few things which had happened, and told her that it took me a while to step forward and obey what I felt G-d was telling me to do.
We talked about using our talents and pretty much, what she had told me is that G-d can not use me unless I share what he has given me. I sing on the worship team, I know most people tell me, my voice is good and many have encouraged me. She had encouraged me to share with the worship team and then eventually with the congregation. I have received a lot of encouragement for a long time here, and I know G-d is trying to get me to pay attention. Lately it feels like I have a creative block or something. Maybe I have this because I simply will not share, and if I am not sharing how can I have more, or grow. I found it encouraging to be corrected or whatever it called, she wasn’t getting after me.
How can a talent grow if it sweeps under the rug. If you have talents for making
wedding invitations, and other artistic things but never use it, how can that talent be develop. It can’t be. Yes, my singing voice can develop or remain, if I am using my talent but if I am not writing than it cannot be develop because it is not being used. Yeshua spoke about talents and the master giving each one. Our talents grant it a little different then what Yeshua was talking about is much the same way. G-d can only increase or give you more when you are willing to step forward. I am processing through the stepping forward or not running the other way. So I guess I need to start working on working on writing songs, but being wise about it. I do not believe I will experience the same pain because I know my worship team leaders are not like that, and I know they have probably had similar experiences as I have. When we are hurt we can do 2 things run and give up, or dust off and get back up and try again.
