Lovin’ the Journey

Paul Wiegert, our Outreach Director at GMV UMC, recently asked me to give my testimony during the month of August.   At our 9:45 a.m. service, this means speaking in front of approximately 300 people!  Wow…no way…not me I said.  People remind me all the time that I’m a lawyer and shouldn’t have a problem with public speaking.  Well, it’s not exactly easy for me.  So, my initial response to Paul was, “no, you can find someone else.”  Then he went on to try and convince me saying that “it’s only 3 minutes” and “you can talk about anything”.  He also went on to say that I could simply talk about GRACE since Rudy’s sermon series during August is on GRACE. 

GRACE….he had to drop that word.  When he did, I got goosebumps.  You see, about 6 months ago, I had a dream that I was in front of the Church talking about GRACE in my life.  Wow!

Coincidence?  I don’t think so.  My friends, that is the nudging of the Holy Spirit.  I’m still not entirely happy about it, but I want to be obedient.  I’m signed-up to do my testimony on Sunday the 26th.
