Church stuff, first and foremost in my mind. Fancy that!
Just had a meeting with a Pillar of the Church, who is struggling with nearly crushing disappointment about Something going on here. Thinking about how I am changing and growing, from... someone whose instincts were all about pleasing people and making sure they were not disappointed/ mad/ going away; to... someone who holds these things lightly enough, recognizes that it really and truly is not about me, whose job, first and foremost, is to listen and love.
I left a meeting recently shaking my head at the change in me. I don't know why it's happening, exactly. But I am so, so grateful.
That's all.

Mags,
This is the true consolation of Christ's servants. It just isn't about us... albeit that can be a very lonely place.

I love it when that happens!
It is very good to read this, very good.
And I too love the title of the post.
So glad and excited for you!
Note: you were top of mind yesterday when I went off to therapy yesterday and then decided to run away from home...ended up Stonypoint...
