I am not the type of person that likes to be in the spotlight. I never looked forward to the presentation days in school. There is a point to this fact about myself. Last Sunday night my church held a Christmas Party for the different small groups. It was a time of fellowship and jsut having some fun with our friends. I do not know many people but the ones in my small group. When Drew, our youth pastor, spoke about the things that have amazed him and how our youth ministry has grown. He gave us a time of response where we could express to everyone what God has done in our life or anything we felt to say. A few people talked about how they were thankful for our church. Then the microphone came around to the side of the room where I was. To myself I was saying, "Yeah, This isnt my thing i am not going to say anything I will be alright." But I felt a nudge at my heart telling me to get up and say what I need to say! So next thing I know I have a microphone in my hand telling everyone about how this church has brought my family together and that is why I am thankful for this church. I would never have thought in a million years that I would have stood up in front of everyone on Sunday night. But I did it because I obeyed Gods guidance to do so! My advice to anyone who reads this would be listen to Gods voice. It could come in numerous ways such as your heart skiping a beat. I didnt say it would not require you to step out of your shell becauuse there is a possibility that it will. Just do it, step out of your comfort zone.
*Grace, Mercy, Peace, Love*
