grrr..... sermons....

Sermon prep... cue the pre sermon melt down.

No matter how many times I do this I'm never comfortable up there. I'm never calm. I'm never confident.

Good thing God didn't call me to a life of comfort, He called me to a life of obedience! But why God, does my obedience have to give me the shakes and panic attacks? Why can't my obedience allow for a good night of sleep and a restful prep time?

Give me peace. Give me strength.

How did it go?!

My first preach is this Sunday, and I haven't quite hit meltdown stage but I for sure know what you mean :)

Ah! It went great! I have never been a part of a more supportive Church. Before and after people were coming up to me and encouraging me, some that I had never even met! For the first time while I was up there I actually got to the end, looked at the clock and wished I had more time because I was having so much fun. I've never had that experience before. SO positive.
I can't wait to hear about yours!
