I’m sure many of you are wondering how I felt when I had the opportunity to preach this past month. All I’m going to say is that it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I prepared. I shared the messages The Lord placed on my heart. And all I can do is hope that the Spirit moved and worked through them.

It was a little intimidating getting up in front of people. I was tempted to think that I didn’t have anything to offer them. Or that I couldn’t possibly share a message with them because I wouldn’t deliver it as well as others on my team.
But The Lord fought those lies on my behalf and reminded me that He gave me something to share, and that I can share it in my own way. It doesn’t have to be perfect. But I could trust in Him.

So preaching wasn’t so bad. Definitely not my favorite thing to do. But not too bad.

On a different note, The Lord gave me a song to sing over the month. It’s from my youth group days. It’s called “These Thousand Hills.”

And the first verse goes like this:
“These thousand hills roll ever on
Footprints of a Mighty God
They bring me to my knees in praise
Amazing love amazing grace”

With this song, The Lord seemed to be whispering over my heart that this would be a month that would bring me to my knees in praise–there would be things He was going to show us.
And He has.
We’ve seen over 30 people come to have a personal relationship with Jesus!
Praise Him!
He is awesome.

What a wonderful month it’s been–dancing with The Lord in the land of a thousand hills.
