Changes

I preach my final sermon for my preaching class tomorrow. I have really loved this class and the professor that taught the class was amazing. She made it a good experience for me. I really feel called to pastoral care and preaching had been so intimidating for me. I really believe because of Nancy Pittman, and the Storytelling festival that I went to I have found my preaching voice.
I also am preparing to go through gastric bypass surgery on Monday, May 15th. I have been experiencing a myriad of emotions. It has been a long journey to prepare for this; many invasive tests and procedures. I have had to make at least five additional trips to Tulsa, with gas prices it has been expensive.
Ok...so I am really just processing some feelings here. I am really not scared, but I am aware that it is going to be a big change, there are going to be big changes. Howard and Mom are very supportive. I will let everyone know how things go.
Send your positive thoughts to the Divine for me.... Laura
