New beginnings

Yesterday in church, I had no notes to take. I went to church planning on hearing a word of the Holy Spirit from Brother Thomas, and made sure I remembered my notebook this week. Worship began, and OH MY what a worship it was. I loved it Praising and Praying! How much closer can I get to God. Pastor interjected the worship, to begin Alter calls. The whole rest of the service was worshipping, praising praying. It literally brought me to tears to see the whole church go up front and place all their worries, problems, and burdens to the Lord. And what a great God we serve that we are able to do that. I am sooo grateful for this service for three reasons, I realized how much I love praying and I mean, really praying. I used to never want to pray out loud, but God has taught how GREAT it is to pray. That is the best communication we have to God and I love watching MY GOD answer prayers.
The second reason, I had to give a tesimony along with 6 other people. We all know I don't like public speaking. Part of my new beginning with God is that God has me doing things that I never thought I would do. For months I prayed that God would use me, mold me, and make me what He wanted me to be. I had no idea what I was in for. God is using me, molding me and making me into what He wants me to be and it is in no way shape pr form, close to what I was. AND I LVOE IT. I decided to be baptized, Allison kindof talked me into being baptized along with four other churches at a huge ceremony at the beach. God chose yesterday for the day, and planned for Thomas to speak yesterday. Of course there were so many new faces and old faces at church and the pews were filled. God said you are gonna speak in public and conquer your fear of speaking in public and you are gonna do it in front of so many people. I was nervous to be in front of people and be baptized. God said you are gonna overcome your fear and you are gonna be baptized on the beach in fromt of not just your church but hundreds of people. God is a fear conquering God and He is showing me that living in fear is no good and keeps me from following Jesus.
Third reason is planning. I went to church planning to hear a word from Thomas, I planned on speaking something in my testimony, and I plan everything out of my life. God has different plans, His agenda doesn't always go along with ours. Thomas planned on preaching God planned on bringing needs to Him instead. I planned on speaking of How I decided to walk with JEsus, God planned on me telling everyone that my walk with Jesus is about me overcoming my fears. I plan everything in my life and God interjects to make things His plan. And you know what, God is answering my prayers. He is using me according to His plans, I just need to learn and live by that my plans, are nto gonna happen unless God'd plan agrees!
As I walk my new beginning, my new walk with Jesus, I have three things I want to live by 1. Pray pray pray 2. Place my fears in God 3. Don't let my plans interfere with Gods.
