The Prompt: God calls Tim to be an usher, but he's afraid of people. What happens?
I was surprised when my husband told me about what he thought God was telling him to do. He had always been a shy person. How he ever gathered up the courage to ask me out on our first date is a miracle in itself. I knew my husband was sure about this though. He always prayed to God and thought seriously about any situation before he made big decisions. Tim told me that this is something he didn't want to do, but he felt that if he didn't do it, he would feel like something was missing in his life.
Tim talked with the pastor after service that Sunday. He's one of the few people Tim isn't afraid of. The pastor was very receptive to the idea and prayed with Tim to give him strength for his journey ahead. Tim hardly spoke a word the first couple of times he did it. He just did his work with a smile on his face, the joy of the Holy Spirit shining through him. It was interacting with the congregation that gave him the confidence he needed. He hasn't regretted his decision, and now he never stops talking!
