Today was a fall festival at the campground Matt works at. There were several bands that played and some speakers. Beholder played in front of several people who have probably never heard that type of music before! It was really cool just to see the expressions on the old people's faces. The band sounded great as usual! And one of my very best friends, AJ played acoustic and sang (she has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.) All of our friends were there plus some new people we got to meet! So overall it was a great day.
One of the speakers just happened I be yours truly! My whole life I've loved public speaking, I loved speech class, acting classes, and pretty much anything else that involved speaking! It is really the main talent the Lord blessed me with! I also have a testimony to share, as all people do. So after I got my associates degree I had no clue what I wanted to do so I took a year off. After the year I really felt the Lord telling me to go to Bible college and be a speaker. Anywho, I was asked to give my testimony today and I was so excited! Although I love speaking, when I get my testimony I get really nervous! Matt said a quick prayer with me and it was my turn.
I got on the stage and my nerves were calmed, I told my story (the short version) and got all the to the end before I teared up! I hate crying in front of people it is the most annoying thing! So after I was done I was really mad for crying but Matt told me my tears probably affected someone more than it would have if I hadn't cried!
God knows your heart, and everyone else's hearts so my tears were not a bad thing! It was in my heart to cry and the Lord knew that! So let them fall and don't be ashamed!
The reason I titled this "You Are Good Enough for God", is because that what I focused on in my story! I never felt that I was worth His love, why would He need to love me, a messed up teen with a crazy life when He could love the "normal" kids? The truth is, no matter what you've done or haven't done, or what some did to you or what someone didn't do to you, you are still worth it! And He loves you for every that you are!
Until next time...John 3:16
