Proverbs 28

Today after church, my friend Lindsey came with me to Shirone to support me in Project Ezra. After praying together at my apartment, we walked together to the park I usually go to, Suido Koen. Today there were a greater number of people out and about, and we mostly just said hello to them. One lady started talking to us, just small talk, but we sort of kept walking. Just after we passed her, I felt convicted that I could have stopped for a moment to talk to her, tell her what we're doing, and invite her to come listen. But by then it was too late.
When we arrived, no one was at the park, and we walked the perimeter singing Revelation Song again. Then as I read Proverbs 28 in Japanese, Lindsey went a little ways behind me and kept singing praises. When I finished, we walked back to my apartment.
A few days ago, I had decided I wanted to try reading in another park as well. So, we then headed over to Jido Koen, a park near the city office. There were lots of people there, some older girls hanging out on the playground, a parent with a young child, and a group of adults having a picnic party. We walked around again, singing praises for spiritual preparation, and also to find where would be a good place to stand and read. All of the people noticed us, and I think they could hear a little. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw one person come and stand and listen for a moment, but left before I finished.
As we walked back to my apartment, we talked a bit, and she felt it was much harder to praise at Jido koen. Looking back, I didn't notice it strongly, but it was harder to praise there. Is it only because I've never read there before? Or is that area more enslaved for some other reason? One possible reason for that might simply be that it is used by more people. It's a popular spot for parties during cherry blossom season. Next to the city office, it's close to the center of the city, so more people naturally go into and through it.

Little by little, I'm gaining confidence and getting bolder. However, it definately helps to have supportive friends go with me. I'd like to continue reading aloud at both parks, but I wonder if I should go praise-walk around Jido koen a bit more often.
