I moderated at an event today๐ this was the last thing that happened today and the peak of my day.
I cleaned up and sorted out my things in preparation for the new month.
In truth, the sorting out just gives a soft landing for the month as it covers just a week ;.
I baked, I sewed, I read and made beautiful plans moving forward which will officially kick-off by tomorrow (the start of a splendid wonderful great new month of April).
Then... to the evening activity.
Though the affair of moderating was impromptu as the moderator was not available- I survived๐ฅฒ๐
.
It was a retreat for the laity week which ended today.
My heart wasn't almost in my mouth- it was in my mouth.
I introduced the two speakers and listened in. I was alert all through the talk trying to get all the details to give a summary.
Now I understand what moderators go through, jeez! It's a chore to keep the crowd alive and interested indeed. This is a first experience for me and I love the thrill and excitement it creates. I was able to mention real-life scenarios of the topics spoken about for us to practicalize and did a whole lot of thanking and applauding.
It was well received by the congregation as I received both praise and constructive criticism. I like the first cus it feels good and the second even more as it gives me great room for improvement.
The criticism- Be more conscious of the microphone ๐ค โBring it closer to your lips next time.โ
Thank God it was successful ๐๐
Looking forward to another moderating affair though not any time soon- my heart needs a little rest from working double time ๐
I am alive, thriving and grateful. Hope you are as well?
