Basically most of last week was spent getting prepared for my challenge talk in any spare time I had. Up till the point of writing it this past week,was lots of prayer and I read or reread 4 books hoping to get some direction. It turned out well. God really used Todd and Beth to show me what needed to go,and what needed more and how what to change. I was really concerned about being forced to in effect water down God ,because the very first talk is not supposed to be real spiritual and full of scripture references. Some people who attend are not Christians or are hostile toward God,for many unknown reasons. So the point is to ease them into a challenging day on sat with out scaring them off that night. The title is set and it is "don't waste your life-God wants you.".......Anyway God has once again shown Himself faithful to me, the best comment I could have received was given" this is the most spiritual first talk I have ever heard,but it's great" and every one else found it acceptable the way is was with just a few minor tweaks. I can really see Gods blessing and His work on my feeble effort. He did something through me that I could not do. And gave me confirmation of the topic and the info in the talk was right in line with His plan for the weekend. God is so good to me.
