Testimony

"And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say." Exodus 4:10-12 KJV

That promise to Moses was made real to me today.

I gave a testimony tonight at the Rancho Cucamonga revival and by the grace of God, it went really well! At first, I was so unprepared. I had known about this for two weeks, but I didn't start actually preparing until a couple hours before the service. I practiced in front of the mirror, but it didn't go so well. I was stuttering and I thought I didn't make sense. When I got to the place, I was so nervous! Especially when I saw the time breakdown: 15 minutes! Such a long time!

I started added notes to my notecard and marking the verses and the passages I wanted to mention. When the program began, I prayed a couple times. Finally it was my turn. I opened with talking about the black-out at school and how it was so awesome. Then I prayed, and after I tried to find my notecard, but I couldn't find it! So I decided to just try my best and let the Lord bless (haha, that rhymes).

The Lord truly blessed! I got many laughs and I felt so energetic. It wasn't how I usually speak; the Lord was truly speaking through me. After the program, I got many comments on about how funny and great the testimony was and how I was cute up there and everythanng. Haha. But all the glory goes to God! I truly could not have done this without Him! He was seriously the one speaking through me.

Happy Sabbath!
