Oral Report - fasting

Today in SLI we had our Oral Book Report presentations.  The time requirement was 4-5 minutes, mine turned out to be 4 minutes 59 seconds.  The book that we were doing the report on was fasting by Jentezen Franklin - a very good book, highly recommended!  I used my microscope and a 1936 Canadian penny to illustrate how when we worship Him as He deserves it magnifies God.  All ten of us SLI's had three "judges/critics" (last time we only had one) who told us what we did good and what we could improve on.  There was Bryce, Heidi and Nathan.  I have actually started to enjoy and look forward to these oral reports - how crazy is that!  I normally don't like speaking in public or giving presentations, but God is slowly scraping that dislike off my life.

After the 2-3 hours of presentations and learning from our "judges", we joined the rest of the KCF staff in their noon-time worship and prayer. This is a one-hour worship and prayer time at the Church that they have this week Tuesday through Thursday.  As I was walking out afterwards I kept telling myself that it hadn't been an hour yet, it seemed like only 10 or 20 minutes. I guess it's true, time flies when your having fun!

Also today is the first day that anyone has ever told me that God had given me a gift of presenting!!  That shocked me since I have never been, nor liked being, a presenter.  It's strange how God works like that.
