God has taught me that life is too short to be shy. There is too much to be done for His kingdom to sit back and let others do it for you. Also, prayer works!

Sometimes it would get discouraging when not a lot of people would show up to the service, but God always came through and even when there were few people, they would tell us about how much the service meant to them.

That meant more to me than 100 people showing up.
