...it wasn't me...

well, Sunday morning came, and it is gone now...I preached on Discipleship to the youth. Personally, I think it went alright. I mean, everyone didn't rededicate or anything, but it just felt amazing to get up there and preach the Word. It isn't everyday that you get to do that you know. Not everyday that you get to stand in front of people and tell them about Jesus.

So following the service, I was talking to a friend of mine who heard me preach. He said "you know, that wasn't you down there" I thought to myself, yeah, it wasn't, it was all God. But I wanted to hear what he had to say, I said "what do you mean?" He said "you aren't a preaching major...that wasn't you down there, thats not what you do".

Now I'm not saying, preaching is what I do...I know I'm not a preacher. I don't think I am cut out to be a senior minister someday, preaching every Sunday...I'm not saying it couldn't happen someday, but I don't see that as my spiritual gifts...preaching...

I know that when I got up there to preach Sunday, it wasn't me...I was the one speaking, my mouth moved up and down and words came out...but I don't feel like it was me doing it. I'm simply saying that without ever taking a preaching class and never preaching before...it went well, and in my opinion too well for me to have done it...God did it...

...so just as God worked through me this past week preaching...let's pray He does the same for this upcoming Sunday, I get to lead worship for the youth service...pray God does something crazy awesome w/ my voice or only the hearing impared come...either way, we are gonna worship Him!
