OUT LOUD

I had to share some stuff on Monday night, I had to stand up and tell some people about some of the work done as a street pastor, as usual, with me, I tend to make things quite personal, I am quite an emotional person and I usually end up babbling and getting a bit random, not really sure if I get my point across, which of course was what happened on Monday night. I think I did get my point across, but as usual, it sounded a lot better in my head before hand, than when it did when I was actually speaking.

After different groups had shared, there was a time of prayer, in which I always feel confident, I feel articulate, ( if you actually can feel articulate), I can go on and on,( hopefully not in a boring way) and I do feel I am bringing others along with me. I don't mean that in anyway boastfully, it is just that when I am speaking to God, it is a lot easier for me, than when I have to speak to large groups of people I don't know. I feel comfortable in prayer. Yet most of my life I have wanted to be able to stand up and speak, I don't yet feel that comfortable doing it.

I am thinking that next time I speak, I will do it with my eyes shut.
