Well, today has come and gone. I don't know what happened, or where the time went, but it's gone. It's July 31st, and I am so at ease with everything that has happened.
Last Sunday I was complaining to mom that I had no idea how I was going to write my talk. I didn't know where to start, what to say, and how it should end. I went to bed mulling over in my head what we'd talked about and a few of the options I could talk about. I sat down on my bed with all the materials I wanted to use, my computer, and just started typing. The most amazing thing happened. I just kept typing and typing. I didn't know what time it was, I never looked at the clock. Finally, I finished it, and it was about 3:30 in the morning.
I got up the next morning to tell my parents that I'd finished my talk. They said, "but you were complaining all night, that you didn't know what to say." My mom said now I just have this last week to think about my talk and change things that I thought needed to be changed, since it was a "rough draft". As I thought about it all week, I didn't change much. It just felt right. I changed a few things, some of the wording wasn't quite right. Other than that, it stayed pretty much the same.
As I gave my talk today, everything just felt right. Obviously this wasn't the work of my hand, it was from the Lord. The little blessings the Lord has given me, His tender mercies always come in little ways, and I'm so grateful for them. I absolutely loath writing talks, and I knew if I asked for help, and had faith, the Lord would show His mercy to me, and I would be able to accomplish the direction He wanted me to take. I am so blessed.
