Say What?

I’m sorry, what did you say? You want me to do what? Long, long pause before answering. Stepping out of my comfort zone is not easy. Saying “no” would have been the easy answer, but I said, “Yes.” Yes, I am available. Yes, I can be part of you women’s conference… as a presenter!

As soon as I hung up the phone, Satan went on the offensive. “You are not qualified. You only speak in front of children. What do you have to say that has any merit?” Satan knows my doubts and knows what to say to me.

But God! He is who I choose to believe. He is equipping my heart and mind with His truths. Every day now, for two weeks, in one form or another, He has given me His word, stories, devotions, family to highlight my topic that I will be presenting. He is there with me, giving me the words, the stories, the activities I want to use.

Saying “Yes!” was hard. Speaking in front of adults is scary. But as I pray and ask for Him to lead, my doubts begin to fade as God reassures me, “He’s got this!”
