Here is something to think about...So many times we, or I should really say I, Think that I am being such an awesome witness because people notice there is something different about me, or because my whole school knows me as the girl who doesn't
drink, smoke, sleep around, ect... BUT, last night my dad (other wise known as PastorPaul) brought something to my attention. The definition of witness is to SAY what you know for sure. So I can't really be the witness that God has called me to be without saying what I know. Just being a Christian and living like it is not enough, I have to say it and share my Jesus. And when I am nervous and don't know what to say all I have to do is open my mouth because God promised me that He will fill my mouth with the words to say (Matthew 10:19-20...do not worry about how or what you should speak, For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak. vs20 For it is not you who speaks but the spirit of your father who speaks in you) So if I am walking around with my mouth wide open...don't bother...I am just waiting for God to fill my
mouth!

I have discovered that recently too...it's pretty cool. I just start going and can't stop... Kinda like a wind up toy that forgot to wind down, only without the little clicking noise.... Okay, so maybe not really like a wind up toy at all, but for some reason, that's the first thing that came to mind. Maybe I just should stop here by saying: God ROCKS!

"...It's all about you, all about you Jesus..."

In the Book of Acts--the people had to first speak before they were given utterance. I LOVE TO WITNESS! It is sooooooo much fun! Some people think it is scary but usually those are the folks who have never tried. The first time you lead somebody to Jesus is incredible...as well as everytime after that! Witnessing should be intentional! If someone happens to notice you are different- then that shouldn't make you smile-- it should make you share. When someone is in love with someone they will talk about that person none stop...even to strangers. Go and tell the world............
Love Jesus, Love People!
