I had asked many people to pray for me on Sunday, November 8, as that's the day I was to be the main speaker at Highland Trinity.  The Lord's presense was with me throughout the entire service!  I felt so the calming presense of the holy spirit flowing as I spoke!  Karen White, the woman who had originally invited me to speak, was sitting in the pew behind my family & when I finished speaking & went to sit back down, she leaned forward, put her hand on my shoulder, & whispered, "That was just perfect!" 

Lord Jesus, you have given me many gifts, including a sound mind, the ability to write my thoughts down, so that others might benefit from reading them, & also you have gifted me with the ability to speak publicly, to share with others some of the trials & tribulations I have faced in my life & how, with your help, I have come out on top!  May I continue to use these gifts you have blessed me with in such a way as to bring you the honor & glory that you so richly deserve!!!
