On Saturday night we helped with youth night at the church that we are working at this month. We did an ice breaker with the kids, worshiped with them, did a skit for them and I was given the opportunity to speak. There were about 100-125 kids at this event and anyone who knows me knows that I am not a public speaker. I would normally rather mow 50 lawns than public speak.
When I was in High School I took a speech class. During my first presentation I was standing on the podium and started to shake and then my breathing became heavy and fast. I could not even finish my first presentation due to my fear. I improved slightly at the end of that course but I vowed never to public speak again in my life.
On Saturday night that all changed. With God anything is possible. God provided me with a scripture verse to base my life and my past on. The Holy Spirit directed my every move during that night. I was fearful at first but once people prayed over me I had a sense of calm. My fears were erased. My hand was steady as I held onto the microphone. My breathing was steady. The words flowed out of my mouth. I didn’t have to think about what to say next. God controlled my every word, my every thought and my every movement. I was engulfed with his love.
