In less than 24 hours (to be exact, in less than 12 hours), I will be preaching in Chapel B of MBTS.
For now, I only get the jitters when I imagine myself preaching tomorrow. I pray that I will able to sleep well tonight.
Thankful for all the hours and days and weeks of preparation God has graced me to have - despite the holidaying, feverish assignments marathon, bouts of illness, traveling, etc etc etc.
I can't wait for it to be over ~ but then again, I am pretty interested to see how I would fare. Haha. While I dread the critique of my classmates (and the lecturer *gulllllpppppp*), I am actually excited to know what they think of my preaching. I do want to grow in this area of ministry. I never wanted to before. But somehow, in God's time and grace, my heart changed. I grew to like preaching. Despite the terrible nerves that come with it, I enjoy preaching now.
This is not the first time I am preaching, and yet, it still feels like the first time. I guess it will always feel like the first time ~ at least for a while.
To those who are praying with me, thank you. :)

Praying for you. You will do fine cos you're doing it to glorify God while getting a grade for it too. Remember, it's the Holy Spirit who works through you and even if it's not a "perfect" preach according to the textbooks, what matters is that it touches and convicts hearts to draw closer to Jesus. You go, girl!!!!
