EP #190: Why I'm Nervous About a Retreat with Bob DePasquale
I'm going on a 3 day retreat and I'm anxious.
I'll be there already by the time you listen to this but I had to be honest about what I am feeling.
I know it's going to be good. I know it's going to be challenging. I know I'll come out better.
So, why am I nervous?
I often say that fear is a liar. This is because it usually indicates the unknown - what we're really afraid of. You might think I'm not ignorant based on my statements above but despite knowing some facts, I don't know exactly what is going to happen. In fact, I know very little. I don't even know where I'm going. I'm getting picked up one evening and taken back (hopefully) 3 days later.
Pray for me. Wish me luck.
I'll be back with a report next week.
Have a generous day.
