As a teenager in youth group, I loved the speakers at the retreats I attended. Afterward I thought, "He/She was so amazing" or "I really resonated with their message." However, I never gave a second thought to what went into delivering a message with conviction, honesty, and boldness.
Fast forward to my senior year of college. I am a Communication Studies major who recently had a direction shift from wanting to go into the music industry to going into outreach ministry.
This was quite a change for me (obviously). I thought "outreach ministry? That shouldn't be too hard, planning events for teenagers and young adults (college age)." But God took it a step further. I feel He is calling me to be an evangelistic speaker to teens and young adults.
My initial reaction was "Ha! What God? This is completely not me." I still feel that this calling isn't real, for some reason.
I am NOT a public speaker. I would rather be in the background than upfront.
But I'm at the point in my life where it's all about God, I'm sold out to Him and I can't deny whatever He's calling me to.
So if He is legitimately calling me to rise up and declare His faithfulness to the next generation, who am I to question it? I just go with Him as He leads. Every day.
All for HIS glory + Always <3
