I cannot speak;
for I am a child

By Brianne Mundy



The February of 2002, I was getting ready to leave for Kenya with my dad, and 4 other people. I was getting kind of worried. I was talking to one of my friends, and I was telling him my concerns.

"What am I going to say if they ask me about my church?" "What if they ask me about my testimony of the church?"

Those were only a couple of the questions that I had running through my head. One night I was sitting in my room, and I was praying about this. I grabbed my scriptures, and put them on my bed. They opened up to Jeremiah 1:6-8.

"Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not I am a child; for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord."
After I read that, I knew that everything would be all right, and that I shouldn't worry about what to say, because the Lord would tell me what needed to be said.
