hey guys,
As yall know I go to college, and I go to Georgia State University. The college is one of the most liberal schools I have ever visited, and God is a fable to most. Well I had an assignment to give a speech to over 40 people about any topic of my choice. Well at first I was going to do abortion, then I decided to Do the battle of D-day in WWII. Well the night before the speech was due, I was taking a shower and GOd was like I want you to talk about me. At first I was like, ” No GOd, I alrady wrote my speech, mabey next time.” but God wouldn’t let it Go!!! SO I stayed up all night and wrote a five minute speech on the crucification of Jesus Christ> I was tired, and was very unsure about the speech, but I prayed to God and said, “God if this is what you want, please bless what I am about to say.” So I gave my speech and over forty people, and I planted a seed in everyone of them. Till this day they are still asking my questions about the speech and saying that I am brave to doing that in a liberal college. Well this weekend my teacher emailed me and said she wants me to give the speech at a competition at Georgia State in front of 1,000 people. I was like ooooooohhhhhhh man!!!!!
So I guess what I am saying is just obey God, and hold on for the ride, because my rollercoaster is not stopping!!! Oh and please pray for the people that are about to hear the speech!!

p.s. this is the video I am goign to show!!!
way to be sensitive to the Lord’s leading in your life. such obedience! that was very risky for one, humiliation and two, your grade.
i think of the verse about being faithful in the small things . . . and you never know where it will take you.
John,
Amen brother!!! AMEN!!! What an incredible story. I absolutely LOVE the way you obeyed God and stayed up all night to write a whole different speech!! God will surely bless you for submitting to His will, and He will use you and your speech to change so many lives! =)
I need to thank you. You picked the PERFECT version of the beating scene from youtube! Long story short, we watched this on good friday at school during discipleship groups (just this scene, not the whole thing) and Since then I have been trying to figure out which Third Day song it was!!! I SEARCHED youtube up and down for the right version, and finally gave up. I forgot about it over this past week until this blog post! OUR GOD IS GREAT!!! I mean, first that is a reallllllllly awesome story! And also, I now know which song it is! Thanks bro!
God bless, Dru
