So, I know I'm breaking tradition here but I thought it was muy muy importante (very very important) to let yall know something.
Today when meeting Daniel (youth leader for those who may not know) for lunch I talked to Jeff Shipman (pastor from "A Challenge to Attack.." blog) and he said that I was going in front of the whole church to talk about my experience with Josh. God had put it on my heart to talk about the whole thing to more people but I was too anxious thinking I didn't want to draw attention to myself and what I did but wanted to show people what God did through me.
So, I'm a little nervous since I'm not a great public speaker but I keep looking back at my favorite verse (Phillipians 4:13) and see that God is on my side. Any kind of anxiousness I have for this is something that God doesn't have in store. So, I'm going to let my nervousness fall away and just let God move through me and give me words to speak. I'm going to be reading my blog and am hoping that God can use it to make an impact in someone else's life/ministry. He showed me how to be more open and "on the attack" through Josh so I hope that He does the same for someone else.
So, please pray for not only me but for the people that will be there Sunday (BOTH SERVICES) and that God will prepare their hearts even now to hear what He will show through me. It's kind of big step for me but I know God is in it. And, "little is much, when God's in it"
Here's my favorite verse so yall can read this and feel challenged like I was.
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me"- Phillipians 4:13

I am so thoroughly excited, even if you aren't! I am confident you're going to do great, even if you have a dyslexic moment and flip around some words, just smile, and no one will care. I definitely think that you'll be giving the glory to God just by the fact that you admit you don't want the attention for what you did, because really, you didn't do anything God couldn't have used someone else for. Sounds harsh... but it's a good prospective to keep ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks =D. I'm just not a big speaker in front of a lot of people but I'm just reading the blog so I should be good. And I have only one word for the prospective you mentioned....AMEN! While I'm happy that he came to Christ and I played a part in it, I know it was what God wanted and not what I did
