yikes – my speaking schedule?

so, a few times in my blogging history, i have mentioned my fear of public speaking, and a promise i made saying if any opportunities were provided, i would go for it.

opportunity one was while we were in scotland, at a nazarene district’s gathering. i spoke on communication in the church, and then had a time for Q&A. pastors from england, both west and east coast scotland, and some from ireland – even ghana – were there.

me.
texan.
accent.
i say “ya’ll” a lot.

so…it was an interesting experience between them understanding me and me understanding them!

a few weeks ago, one of our student pastors over at our town east campus had been informed about my “dirty girls” article in relevant and asked if i’d be willing to be a speaker for their weekly high school program. they are doing a sex series, and wanted a girl’s perspective on porn and sex. without hesitation, i said yes…and over the last several days have been really excited about it! first, hanging out in a student ministry environment again will be awesome and it’s a topic i would love to talk about.

today, i started getting nervous. just a little. but the fact it’s in the very near future (February 21), i feel as if it’s creeping up on me!

following that, on february 25, i will be returning to powertalk live on dallas’ own 89.7 powerfm. it’s a one-hour show that discusses current issues for teens and twenties. it will be my third time on the show, but i’m not really nervous about radio. it’s never really freaked me out all that much. if you’d like, you can listen to the june 25 interview below.

89.7 PowerFM Power Talk June 25 – Women and Porn Addiction

all that to say please keep me in your prayers as i prepare for these talks. and if you are in the dallas area, feel free to come out to “the net” on february 21 at 7 pm.

don’t live in dallas? check out the radio interview. you can listen to live at 897powerfm.com at 9 pm central time on sunday, february 25.

leave me some love…i need it! :)
