Today is Ayla's actual Birthday! She is 5 years old and today was the first time I publicly shared my testimony. We had a special meeting at MOPS called "Tea and Testimony" and I felt led to give mine. We have all come so far and I felt like today was the perfect day to tell this story for God!
It was really an amazing experience. If you know me you know I don't like the spot light and public speaking pretty much terrifies me but today I felt total peace and confidence as I got up in front of 80+ ladies. I know that it was a God thing and not a "krista" thing!
I felt like I was where God had wanted me to be and was doing what he had been preparing me for, for such a long time!
When I found out this special meeting fell on Ayla's birthday, I knew I had to do it!
I wasn't the only one who shared today, another extremely brave woman shared her story and touched us all. I really enjoyed the meeting and the chance to share what God has done in our lives!
Tonight we are taking Ayla out to a restaurant of her choosing for her birthday!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Ayla! I am proud of you Krista. Like you, speaking in front of others terrifies me. I pray I get better because I felt I needed to speak a few months ago and I cried the entire time. I am sure it will get easier with time.
ReplyDeleteHey Krista! So proud of you! If I had known you were sharing, I would have seen if I could have come as a guest today if they had nursery for my kids. I heard it was very good. Happy Birthday to Ayla.
