The talent show
When I was at the talent show in my school I was excited. When it was my turn, I got so nervous. But when I got on stage and sat down at the piano, I played my pieces and I was happy I was playing my songs.
I got the nervousness out by listening to God. God told me to play my beautiful songs in front of all those people. I listened carefully to what God said. The things that I thought about were joyful thoughts and supreme thoughts, and those thoughts helped me do a wonderful job at the talent show. It seemed hard at first, but I made it easy because I listened to God’s thoughts, and He spoke the truth to me.
