(I've even had people say to me, "Wow, you look so confident!" I assure them the opposite is true!)<BR/><BR/>2) Mistakes, even apparent failures, are not the end of the world!!!<BR/><BR/>3) You're never in it alone.Johan Maurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771067774042071617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217199.post-69919300719806308982008-03-10T11:51:00.000-07:002008-03-10T11:51:00.000-07:00You know how you never know when something you wri...You know how you never know when something you write is going to mean something special to someone?<BR/><BR/>This weekend, I had a leadership role thrust upon me. I wasn't expecting it, I was actively avoiding it in fact. But this morning, I accepted it in my heart. The big task is going to be "encouraging the reconcilers in their hard and sometimes discouraging work" in one of my local networks. And then here I read more evidence that I have made the right choice. The main thing I think I've done right is to keep asking for God's help. And to remember that I am blessed to be able to offer my gifts to the community. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, the temptation is to think that the main thing I've learned is not to be good at things, because people will just expect you to do more.Robin M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10336915224193704866noreply@blogger.com
