Nerves

Well, I've done all I can do. Except pray some more. I am so nervous for tomorrow. As stated in a previous post, I have been called to be a Gospel Doctrine teacher. I am terrified of teaching. But I've tried to just be positive and do my best. Tomorrow is my first Sunday teaching. I have been reading the lesson all week and the scriptures that go along with it. I spent most of the day today finally setting it all down on paper and organizing it to the best I can. Hopefully it turns out well.

It's weird, because I'm nervous that I won't have enough and I'll end early, but I'm also nervous that I won't get to all the points I want to hit. Either way I need a lot of class discussion going on. So to all of those out there in my ward that read this, Please, please, participate tomorrow. I know it's early and you'd rather still be in bed, but I really need the encouragement.

To top of those nerves, Brian & I also have to speak tomorrow. So the time I wasn't spending on my lesson I was spending on my talk. I think it'll be OK. At least I don't have to worry about feedback during my talk. But I will admit that I spent more time on my lesson than my talk, so if it's not quite as good as usual, take it up with the bishop. :)

And to make things just a little more stressful, the choir is singing tomorrow. And I am the pianist. So I will be talking, playing, and teaching tomorrow. People are going to be sick of looking at me by the end of church. So again, please participate! :)

Brian is a good husband though and has been really encouraging. He says he's excited for my lesson and he's talked to others that are excited as well. We'll see if I meet there expectations. We're off to a family BBQ this evening which I hope will take my mind off things for a while. Like I said, there's nothing else I can do, but pray. Which I will be doing a lot of!
