You never cease to amaze and inspire me. I can’t think of anyone more capable of lifting the weight, but I understand your wish for something that isn’t so crucial. But as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way, and you have a beautiful and amazing will.

I love this and completely identify. Lately I feel like I’ve been avoiding thinking about decisions that are linked to other big decisions which are linked to others. Man, can’t we just eat Thin Mints and watch movies on the couch?

Rachel, I can always use the reminder that I’m not the one running the show! I don’t want to overstate my responsibilities or capabilities. Friday was the perfect day for rest and perspective, and I’m feeling much lighter now.

I’m grateful for windows of insight into the responsibilities I have, though, because it keeps me focused and working hard, but it’s nice to step back too and remember the world turns without my attention. (Imagine!)

Great post. Erin. I want to be in your pod!

And I agree with you that the “small group leaders lead the church” and that means you, as a pod leader, do too. But don’t lose sight that Christ ultimately leads this church. And you can do all things in Him who can strengthen you. (I’m guilty of frequently forgetting to rely on that invisible power.)

Sounds like you had the perfect day planned – hope you’re feeling restored!

Treasure these days. Undoubtedly you will need more of them. Your heart is not the type to “slack” on anything, because you believe that everyone is that important. And everything we do affects someone who is that important. So, treasure these days. You are what makes them so important.

ps – What a fortunate group of women to have an advocate that cares as much as you do!!!
