Speaking in church

I feel like I don't have much to say lately. I think part of that is that we were asked to speak in church this upcoming Sunday. We were asked two Sunday's ago which I kind of hate. That way I have even more time to stew, and worry and stress and not enjoy any down time because I think I should be working on that darn talk. The topic is Gratitude, which initially I thought was great. Gratitude is easy...but oh so broad. I have given it a lot of thought and read a lot of articles and have a rough draft. You would think with all the talking I do that I wouldn't mind speaking in church. Oh, but I do. I can sing, play the piano, teach a lesson with some nervousness yes, but speaking in Sacrament meeting is so not up there with my favorite things to do. To make matters worse until recently I always wrote my talk out word for word. I know, people hate that and it's hard to write it out that way. I am trying to be brave and let the spirit guide and not write it out word for word. I've done that in the past a few times but it makes me even more stressed. I never know what is going to come out of my mouth and how. I have a lot to be grateful for but I'm sure no one would appreciate me standing up and reading off a list. I'm sure somehow it will come together. I can't wait til it's over.
