Today I recieved an e-mail from a friend.  She's such a sweetheart and while most of our communication is via e-mail she always listens and encourages.  This friend also happens to be the coordinator of a local MOPS group and she's asked me a huge thing.  She's asked if I will share my testimony about the loss of my son to the group next month at their tea and testimony meeting.  There will be several moms sharing of course.

I've done some public speaking (was even a MOPS coordinator myself for two years) but this is about something very personal.  When I first read her request my stomach flipped, my heart leaped into my throat and I thought “NO WAY!”  Then, as I was typing out my reply it was as though the Lord whispered in my ear, “If I call you to do this, I will equip you also - do not be afraid.”  I began to calm down and told my friend that I would most definitely pray about it.

So, I'm not asking for anyone to try and convince me one way or the other.  I simply need prayer that God will tell me what to do and that if I'm to actually go through with this....that He'll tell me what to say.
