In the beginning, I remember asking the same question that you opened with "But what do I tell them?" The answer I was given was simple, tell them the truth. I speak somewhere in Florida at least every other week nowadays, and before I speak I always ask God to get me out of the way, and to use me to send His message. It hasn't failed yet. <br /><br />Good luck speaking at your church. I found it somewhat painful the first couple of times, but there has been a lot of healing in it for me. It's how God has helped me turn tragedy into purpose. To be able to use the most difficult experience of my life to help carry a message of hope and recovery to others today is priceless. It's an opportunity to help His kids, and maybe save life.Glenn Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446369209146500717noreply@blogger.com
