never was a preacher...
but tonight I preached... sort of.
Tonight was presentation night for our Sunday Night Seminars at church, and I have been teaching a Bible study on Self Control and kung fu.
So tonight I presented a synopsis of what I have taught, what I will teach next time (spiritual principles that parrallel kung fu) and then did short demonstration that included having the pastor flip me.
It went extremely well, far better than I ever could have imagined. I took about 40 minutes, and I basically preached a sermon.
It touched at least one person who shared afterwards, and I had a lot of people who came up and told me I did a great job. The pastor and my father were thoroughly impressed. All the glory goes to God, for I could not have done so well without Him. I believe that He spoke through me tonight, I have never felt so relaxed and comfortable as I did speaking tonight.
This morning I gave my testemony in church, got a lot of good feedback on that.
Tomorrow marks my 18th birthday spiritually and tuesday my 25th actual birthday.
it's an exciting time in my life.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I really wanted to, but nursery duty is important and I like it.
Pastor did go around with his chest puffed out a little bit afterwards. He came up to me and told me he'd flipped you. LOL That was funny.

Sorry for the late comment. That was a great demonstration even though my wrist and arm were a little sore afterwards. I enjoyed it tremendously.
