I Don't Really Care if they Like Me
After committing to speak at a woman's weekend retreat, the devil darts were flying and I didn't know how it would all come together. A few nights before I said to my husband, "Don't ever let me do this again. I really don't like it." My rant continued.
"Years ago, when I was a Christian Women's Club speaker, I think I really wanted them to like me. Now, I really don't care if they like me or not."
He said, "I think you should start off saying that." We laughed and laughed.
He went on..."Say, I don't really care if you like me or what I have to say. I'm just doing what God told me and speaking truth, so there. Just sit back and listen."
Oh, my I love this man. He does make me laugh.
God loves us too and what he calls us to has purpose and He does the equipping, so I decided to go in joy.
My topic was "Wisdom from a Worn In Grandmother" based on a favorite passage "Be joyful always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
It was a wonderful weekend, I awakened Sunday morning missing them and praying we gather together again soon. God does know what he's up to and answered the prayers of all of you praying for me. I'm giving thanks for you right now.
Those of you from the retreat send pictures. I didn't have a chance to take one.
Love, Mama Boo
