Speaking Up

I can remember so well the first and second time I was able to speak up for our Lord. I had just left church and was in the the super market. I was holding a Bible and a young man questioned me about it. Thinking back on it, I have no idea what was said but I can tell you that is was very brief and made me feel so self-conscious. The second time I was volunteering in for our church's youth group, the leader asked that we get together and pray around a circle. When my turn came I could not speak, after a long pause the leader had the wisdom to know and moved on. Oh yes, I know recall the 3rd time. The high school youth group was at my house and Pastor Vegdahl called us to form a circle, join hands and pray in turn. I thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest. When it was my turn to pray I said to the Lord "Show me what You want me to do" I still say this daily. The Lord say "he who is faithful with a little will be given much". From that day on I was able to speak freely.
