Trial Sermon Again

Well my sermon was less than adequate. I had to write it again after discussion with my mentor. He was right but I did have a crisis of confidence. But that's it now I can't change it again. I began to feel that I would never write it I sat for ages looking at the screen and thinking I can't do this. But after a lot of prayer I did. Then this morning after the service I was talking to a member of the congregation and he was saying things that were in my sermon how strange is that. It gave me confidence that I had been on the right track. I know what I want to say but getting it on the page is sometimes very difficult. It gets lost in the saying. Never mind I progress.
I have done my first assignment too which is encouraging. I hope that's ok.
I am enjoying taking services more and I am not so nervous for all the bits that aren't the sermon. I do get nervous but it is not debilitating. So if I can crack the sermon bit I shall better.
I learnt a lot from my last tutorial and can now use what is called the grid better than before so that's another progression which pleased me because I had been finding that quite difficult.
I realise that we shall have to get more bookshelves. If I keep every sermon and service I do we shall run out of space very soon. We turned one of our bedrooms into an office and bought new shelves but they are nearly full already!
