so...i preached yesterday....aside from the fact that i nearly fell over a couple of times..and was EXTREMELY nervous, it went pretty well.
mike gave me a Bible commentary yesterday "The Women's Bible Commentary: an indespensable resource for all who want to view Scripture through different eyes." it's awesome.
i preach again on the fourth...and i worked on my sermon at work today...that's pretty much all i did...since my job is a joke....i typed something...and filed some stuff....and opened the mail...the rest of the time i worked for church....
but....despite the terror of yesterday morning...it was cool. it felt right....and if i can calm down just a little...i'm sure i'll be better at it...and enjoy it more. i did enjoy it though....aside from a near nervous breakdown. i also sang yesterday....and that was MUCH scarier than the preaching...so maybe if i didn't have to do both in one day...it would be better.
talked to eva yesterday...which is always awesome. i'm so glad that she has confidence in me -that all my friends have confidence in me - whether i deserve it or not. i got cards from eva, meghan, and melinda last week wishing me luck for yesterday...it was awesome to know they were praying for me....thanks, girls!
and josh was there yesterday...i was sort of afraid he would make me more nervous...but he helped so much....i might have chickened out without him! i'm SO glad he was there!
one more significant note...josh and caitlin and i went to the mall tonight...and i got my cartilage pierced again...i'm such a rebel...yeah. that's me.
