Blogust & Everything After

I guess if I talked about Saturday I should also talk about Sunday. It was the big day where I was finally talking at church. I spent the whole afternoon fretting and prepping. I was pretty scared that it wasn't going to come together. I also wrote a one man drama which was possibly more scary for me than the speaking stuff. On a side note, I'm thinking of starting up a church drama ministry, please pray for that. So I went to church early to practice and it went fine. Showtime came and I did all right although I broke one of the main rules of drama. I used a script on stage, not too many people noticed but it dissapointed me. Then my talk was next. It went o.k. I guess. I was a bit underprepared so at some points I was all over the place but I think I was able to pull it together nicely. The topic was "Cultivating a Friendship with the God of the Universe" I've struggled recently to include God as a friend in my daily life so I did this talk mainly for me. I felt that I came across too seriously, too stern but some people praised me for that because sometimes we don't get enough of that these days. I also felt that I presented a lot of points about salvation through Jesus which I didn't plan on but is always useful in helping the cause. Overall it was a successful return to the church stage for me and I think God used the service....I can't wait to get back out there.
