Twenty20 Interview/God Working

So tonight at Twenty20 (the college age group at Koinonia) was themed on fasting, since Koinonia as a whole is doing a 7-day fast.  The leader, also my mentor, Brian, interviewed me as someone who has never fasted before and then interviewed someone else (Tony) who has had experience with it.  It actually went very well.  I was not nervous beforehand; I wasn't shaky; I didn't really prepare much for it (he told me the questions he was going to ask); and I was able to speak comfortably in front of the group.  As I was sitting back down, I thought "Wow! Where did this come from! I've never been able to comfortably talk in front of a lot of people, I've never been able to talk in front of a lot of people and not shake, or stutter.  Praise God! He blessed me indeed tonight.

A time at the end was reserved for those who were participating in the fast. Time was set aside for worship, praying, and communion.  It was very powerful.  God touched my heart in new ways, He opened the eyes of my heart a little bit more, and He showed me great things.  For one, He showed me how much I am a true part of His family: that I belong to His family, my Father's family.  I've known this for quite some time, but I've never really felt the belonging that I felt tonight.  God is moving! Praise God!
