The body of Christ broken for you....

Sooo.....we had a pretty big adventure in the ministry last Sunday. Apparently someone in the church did not get the memo that I have a serious fear of being in front of ppl. Much less having to hold communion bread for all of them! Right before church started last week Rob told me that I was going to help give out communion. At our church we've started something where 2 couples stand in front of the church, one on each side. One holds bread, the other grape juice cups. We go by rows in the church and everyone files to the front to break off a piece of bread and and get grape juice for communion. As each person goes by you have to say "The body of Christ broken for you" or "Christ's blood shed for you". Well, I had no clue what I was doing and almost had a panic attack thinking about it all throught church! But you know what? I'm really sick of being so darn worried about being in front of people. I went on up there and had no idea what I was doing! But, I made it through and I felt really good about it. It was funny though because one of the pastors in our church is aware of my fear and he said, "I did not volunteer you!" Then, as he was about to walk away he said to Rob and I, "Welcome to the ministry...things change quickly." It made me smile and realize - this is it! This is my new life and I'm really excited about it.
