So I haven't blogged in a while. I didn't think anyone had really noticed...and yet I have a fan!! :D
(I love ya, D!)
So yesterday was Fast and Testimony Meeting. For those who don't know it's usually the first Sunday of the month, and during our Sacrament Meeting the members are invited to stand at the pulpit and speak about what they believe in. It's a really great way to build each other up as children of God.
As some of you know I'm not a very shy person. However, when it comes to public speaking and hearing my voice amplified...I'm a huge chicken. Saturday night I kind of decided that I was going to try and do the testimony thing the next day. So I'm sitting in church and there was this huge gap between people...no one would get up and give me a chance to say, "Ok...after this person I'll go." So here I am having this inner struggle about getting up to speak and finally someone got up. As I'm listening to this testimony I decide to say a little prayer to be able to go up and speak without passing out. Then suddenly I was on my feet and walking towards the front of the room...then the other girl was finished with her testimony and there I was. I looked down and there was a big black microphone staring at me. I looked forward and realized that there were a TON of people at church! Dang. So I open my mouth and say my part. It wasn't very big...just a little blurb about saying prayers, and how I know that they'll be answered if you have real intent.
The best part was when I sat back down in my seat after I was done. I felt this calming assurance wash over me. I smiled because I knew that the Lord had answered my prayer about being able to speak in front of everyone (about prayer ironically) without losing it.
On a more personal note: Oh dang!!!!! D....I can't even begin to explain how great it is :)
