Getting back in the saddle

As I've said, these last few months have been extremely taxing for me. My relationships have suffered on every front and I have withdrawn further and further from interaction. Now that the pain is finally under control I am working back up to things. Today I was offered the opportunity to speak at church again for the upcoming Proverb 21 (the first half). This is a subject that is near and dear to me, so I accepted with just a bit of trepeditation (you can click here to read it yourself). It takes me hours and hours to put a message together, and I don't have a long time left until I need to give it, but this subject is one that I have spoken about extensively in both individual counseling sessions and with my connection group. I am definitely looking forward to this subject and I pray that I can help people to understand God's view on motivations.
