Some of my books for college arrived today! Yey! But also oh! What am I doing!
It's suprising how much doubt can creep into your mind when your not looking. It's also a bit suprising how many times I have to remind myself that I'm not doing all of this for me! (Although I love youth work and local preaching so it's a good job really! Thank you God!)
So today I've been looking at the many passages I've got to choose from, in order to write my first narrative sermon (in note form!) For assessment. Since Wednesday I've been struggling to sit down and find a passage I want to cover, it's so helpful when you have a service that they give you readings, and I've never thought of that before.
But I think I might have found the tiny tiny passage that will help me.
Now I have to choose between a personal narrative or a parallel narrative. It's a bit like someone giving you a choice for cereal and after saying all the choices they then give you another list for what type of milk you'd like...
Full cream milk would be going for a personalised narrative. You get a different view point and it tastes nice. (Even if it is a bit too much!)
Skimmed to me would be the parallel narrative, I'd be okay for a little while but I couldn't do a whole sermon that way.
The problem is I'm a semi skimmed kinda girl. Yep please keep your soya milk and your yaks milk and your lactose free, I can do full cream if I really really must but at the first available opertunity I'm going to go and get some middle of the road semi skimmed.
So personal, or parallel?
The passage would be quite easy to put in to modern day and create again but differently. But at the same time it would be easy to tell from the different personality.
I'm good at connecting humanly so I could do a good job on a personalised narrative but could I do a good job in note form?
Most of my ideas don't work in notes, if I have something to write and preach I tend to just do it.
Showing my workings wasn't easy for me. (Not that I'm good at maths!)
Maybe I'll just research today. I'll gather all the information and go from there tomorrow and try and make up my mind.
The hair in all it's rainbow ness has now been washed so I'm a little less blonde and a little more... Well I'll be honest it's no where near my normal colour! But even after only two weeks (yeah it's only two weeks! Had it dyed on the 26th march) my dark roots are showing, my hair does grow quickly! 
This was after a few days (my big sisters photo!) I'm still unsure as to whether I like it of not, somedays it shocks me a little. Part of me doesn't want to still have hair like this in June, but another part of me wants to re do it maybe just with purple and blue, fire red, and my own dark hair.
Right! I'd better get something done, reading note taking or researching (probably researching, it's amazing the things you can find out about parts of the bible. It's still a little strange to think that some people don't research and don't find out what all the little bits and peices actually mean!)
Well, until the next time I write.
Stay safe! And God bless you.
