So, this past week I was sick...all week...Monday-Thursday. Basically, I slept most of the day, was up for a couple of hours at night, got up in the morning & did the same thing the next day. I hated it. I felt like I was letting everyone down...even though I couldn't do anything about it. Ugh!
...and in the midst of all that God was re-defining all the things I had thought about leadership. When I was on staff this past year, God was teaching that I am capable, that I am a leader. And now, He's put all of it in a blender to separate all the stuff that I had built so that He could rebuild it. *sigh* After breaking me down, though, He's started to re-build it. In John 21, Jesus re-instates Peter after he denies even knowing Jesus 3 times..and the kicker is that Jesus knew Peter was going to do it, and decides to use him & reinstate him anyway. And I think that's what God has been doing in me. On Saturday morning, He reminded of what I care about (People) and why & how I want to care for them.
I still don't have it all figured out, but I know that after hitting bottom last week, God's starting to build the foundation back up so that I'm starting to rise...but I'm rising re-built.
