So….

I spoke at the church tonight. It is always nerve racking when I speak. It does not matter where, when, or even how long I have to prepare. I am not a fan of public speaking. I might have been once, but I became self conscious of my speaking out. I am always worried about what others will think. Overcoming this anxiety is nothing less than a miracle from God!

I have a ministry, and part of it is speaking. Tonight, everyone seemed receptive and gave me so much positive feedback. I know it wasn’t me, but God that they heard. It is humbling to be asked to do this. As much as my being screams, “NO!” when I get asked, I know I have to let God have control of the words.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19‭-‬20 HCSB

God has to have control for this ministry to work! None of this is about me or what I want to do. I am satisfied with keeping my thoughts and writings to myself. God has another plan! His plan is the same it has always been.

Spread the Gospel!

And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations.

Mark 13:10 HCSB

I am willing! I may not always be able, but I know that He is! I have to trust Him!
