As a child parents never took us to church. But they had friends that took us children with them too church. When i turned 16 and got a Job I quit going because I was a kid and I wanted to party. Now fast forward 25 years and I have spent years in Ohio Reformatory for women two to be exact, for drugs I know I've shared my story here before and I'm going to celebrate 11 years sober July 10th this year from all drugs heroin pills cocaine crack name it I was doing it. Now back to the people that took me to church as a child I reconnected with them and this Sunday I will be going to church with them again and I'm going to get baptized. Now you probably wondering why I need prayers right? I got a text message from the pastor last night and I guess before I get baptized I'm going to be up on stage in front of the church and David and Sally are going to come up with me in the pastor and David and Sally will pray over me before I get baptized but I have to say something to the church on why I want to get baptized or what my story is what led me to the path to want to declare my faith in public through a public baptism. Just pray that what I say is good enough. I'm not a very good public speaker. Thank you in advance
Could use some prayers this week.

Anything you say is good enough. Even if you have to say anything at all. Usually the preacher may ask you, but saying it in front of a congregation may not even happen. But….hope it does. Be ready for it. Say you want to. It’s doesn’t have to be anything special, or pretty to anyone else. It’s just you and the Lord. Think about it this way….IF, you have to say anything, it could massively help someone else there needing help and afraid. You could be what moves them to the Lord right after. The Lord uses us, and be thankful for that. Just remember you don’t have to satisfy anyone here on Earth. Just be satisfied with yourself and your relationship with Jesus Christ. You’re loved and blessed friend.
