On whose authority?

So the past weeks in Uni have been an experience. We've been put into clinical placement where we are paired up with a 4th year student Speech Pathologist to treat a client. And above us, is a supervisor who oversees everything that we do with the client. Eg. The activities, our plans and whatnot. I was super excited bout going into the clinic, actually being able to practice what I've been studying.

BUT

I made the WORST first impression. I missed my first meeting with my supervisor. It wasn't on purpose, there was just a lot of mis-communication. Now... you would think that it wouldn't be that a big of a deal since it was the first week and all. Turns out, it was.

Something you should probably know about me, I have an irrational fear of people in authority. I would rather not speak to my teachers (I never ask questions- unless absolutely necessary), I feel uncomfortable having to talk to my boss (at Subway).

So here I was freaking out about missing my meeting, totally convinced I would have to repeat the unit- hating myself for not handling the situation better, when I paused and realized.. Am I more afraid of my supervisor or God?

She had authority, and yes- It could potentially set me back. But God has the ultimate authority. And it is Him that I should really look to in this situation. His authority. Ultimately He has the final say. And it is Him I should fear.
