I have quite the weekend coming up, so other than my Sleep Lady Shuffle posts, I may be somewhat MIA. I don’t envision a lot of time for blogging.
I have a friend coming into town early tomorrow morning (Yippee!) and staying for the weekend. Tomorrow is Leah’s birthday, of course, and then Saturday we’re having her party. After the party, some folks will be staying at our house for the monthly family game night. Church on Sunday, naturally, which this week includes two presentations of my testimony. Yikes.
I was working on the testimony today and the whole process had an unexpected effect. As I sat and typed it out, I began to cry. Hard. I’ve given my testimony lots of times before, even on the subject of my anxiety and depression, but something about this time is different. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I have a definite sense that this time is going to be different in some way. Pray for me, if you think about it, because I really am going to need to practice it a lot to prevent an emotional breakdown in the middle of things. I don’t usually struggle with that, but given the number of tears that fell while I was writing it, I imagine it could be true, too, for the live version.
3 of your thoughts:
Good luck preparing for Sunday. Have you tried reading what you have written out loud in front of someone? Maybe that will help put you at more ease?
Yay for birthday parties! I hope you and especially Leah have an amazing time with your family and friends!
You know I'll be there for you on Sunday. You'll be surrounded by lots of love. If you cry, it'll be 'cause you need to. That's all. So much of your speaking is out of your control. Isn't that what you've told me?
I'll be there in spirit. I listen online when I can.
