I've been really careful about how I go about this, because I don't want it to be about me. I don't want to do it for the attention of other people to be on me. Last Wednesday night, God told me to give my christian cds to the youth group, and destroy my non-christian ones. Surprisingly, I never thought twice about it. I know satan wouldn't try to convince me to do something that would glorify God in the end. I've only missed the cds once in the past four or five days. I didn't tell anyone about what I was doing until Saturday, when I knew people were going to be at the church for play practice, so I could get in. I did have to borrow the key to the youth room, from the youth leader, but I just told her it was for a surprise for the youth. They found them this morning, and they were really grateful, which made me feel good about it. I knew they would like them. What kids wouldn't like getting that many cds at once? If I could, I would have made it totally anonymous, but there are quite a few autograph cds, and some of them have my name on them, so they'd know it came from me. Plus, asking for the key to get in, she would have figured it out sooner or later. I've been trying not to mention it too much, because I don't want to get the "glory" for doing it, I want it all to be for God's glory. But it's hard. I've caught myself several times about to tell someone, but I knew it was in the wrong spirit, so I would stop myself. I've been trying to pay attention to what kind of stuff I'm watching on tv. If it's something that's blatantly against God, then I make myself turn the channel. And I'm trying to follow the leading of God, on the stuff that is "gray". So I request prayer from all of you to help me in this. Thanks in advance.
