| I gave a speech last night in front of hundreds of people. I thought I would be nervous but I wasn't. I worked hard on writing a speech but had one of those "tear up the prepared speech and speak from the heart" moments. I spoke about how we should not pray just for our dreams to come true, but for those dreams that God places in our hearts that are in accordance with His will, for those to come true and those that will be a blessing to others. It's not What you believe but WHO you believe in. I spoke about how it came about that I was published after I retired and not when I first asked God for that dream 20 years before but it was in His timing and His timing was perfect. My dream wasn't for fame or fortune, not for money for books but for the ability to share. I have had the thrill of sharing, haven't had fame or fortune but the blessings that come from sharing. I don't know how my speech was received, don't know if I got applause or not... the doorbell rang and woke me ...
It was the delivery of my copies of my new little book....: |
