Am I really ready for this?

If I were to compare my journey through my new treatment to anything, it would be to "The Awakening".  My mind has begun to get much clearer, and I am remembering experiences with my young family, I am finding my sense of humor, I am remembering how to do things on the computer that I haven't done in forever. It is like I am slowly waking up to who I used to be.

Before I was led to my current treatment, I was asked to be part of the ministerial team at our church.  We began as a group who were hand-selected by our pastor to support him initially by prayer. 
We became prayer warriors for our pastor, our local church, our worldwide church, and for spreading the gospel.  It has been through this group that I have been blessed with prayer specifically for my health.  Not at my suggestion, but rather of the suggestion of one of the brothers in there.  One morning as we gathered before services, the Holy Spirit inspired one of the brothers to have an hour of prayer just for my health.  It was the most awesome experience . . . and it was later that day that I had scheduled to go to a seminar on this new treatment journey.  I started the next Monday in treatment, and it has been a true Godly experience, for I know it has been an answer to prayer.

Ok, so for just a bit more background information, we have done a 40-day study of prayers and devotions to prepare for the second coming.  We chose prayer partners, and prayed throughout the week together for the 40 days - and discussed each week what we had studied, and how it was impacting our lives.  It was such an impactful study that we decided to present it to the church as a "mini study", which begins this evening.

So . . . .more to the subject of this posting, I have prepared a Power Point presentation for the first night, tonight, when I and my partner Dan will be presenting on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  It truly has been a God-thing to be blessed with what to put in the slides, what points are the ones we need to bring to light.  So tonight is not really my debut of speaking again, but my Heavenly Father speaking through me.  I am excited, yet anxious, and also humbled to be used in this way again!  I think I'm ready . . .
