I was tipe-toeing to door as a slung by backpack over my shoulder, it was 8:00 am and I had to get to the church fast! Two night before I was asked to share on Sabbath for the Sermon and at first I was going to share my testimony. Friday night after our Young Adult Vespers Joey, Ashly, Aphi, and little Sebastian came to the church along with Mike and I to practice for song service on Sabbath. Joey asked me to man the sound system to get things going. Once everything was taken care of, I started to work on my sermon. The whole day i had this desire to share something that would engage young and old, but at the same appeal to both. I was tweaking my testimony here an there after a while everyone said goodnight and i was still working things out. I told Joey to take Mike home cause I was going to be a little while longer. I wanted to practice what I had so for and work out the kinks out loud. Well I went through it and I prayed "Lord get me through this." It was going to be my first time sharing a sermon and I was nervous yet excited. I get home and get ready for bed and as i am laying down looking up at the sealing I said another prayer "Lord I don't think this is gonna cut it." As I quickly though of somethings that I could share on... that out of no where came the idea! You see a week before I had helped my dad get something together that he was gonna share about and i instantly though. Why not share the same thing with my own twist! So on Sabbath morning while my house mom was still sleeping I scrambled to get to the church so I could put my message together. God helped me, it was about Evangelism and why we should do it and at the end I shared what evangelism had done in my personal life. By the Grace of God it went well! I praise the Lord for every new step He shows me and I so glad that He gives us the strength to take the next step with Him.
Blessings Joseph....we'd like to hear that sermon one day! Can you remember to share it with us?
