It's all very well for me to tell you not to be afraid, but what do I do about fear? I am just an ordinary Christian woman and often I give in to fear and let it walk all over me. I should not do this, but I do. Fear grips me tight and I have to fight hard to put it in its place. If we believe God is our Father and caring for us every single minute we surely do not need to fear. We need to remind ourselves of the Father's love. Indeed we may have to go through very difficult times, but He is with us all the way. So don't imagine that I am some sort of super Christian who is always trusting as I should, but I do come back again and again to rest in God's love and faithfulness
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
