Here I was...all content being angry this morning and now you have to go and make me think.

We Christians sure are fans of "eatin meetins" aren't we? :)

Finding an accountability person was incredibly difficult for me. I believed the lie that being a church staff member meant that you had to have it more together than non-staff...so I kept everything hidden. Thankfully God brought a wonderful woman into my life whose been very patient with me while I decided whether or not I could trust her. I can.

We've got a Volunteer Coordinator, but his role is to FIND volunteers. Not to monitor their "health". I think the intentions are to find that 80% that aren't volunteering so the remaining 20% aren't carrying the burden, but many volunteers I know are wearing more than 1 hat.

I'm pretty certain that where I work, burn out is not something that is seriously considered. So I'm learning that I have to monitor this myself. No one is going to tell you to take a day off, that it's okay to go to a parent/teacher conference, etc. This is my second time going through this book. I was so broken up and crying reading it the first time...couldn't believe that someone actually understood.

I'm not in a leadership role, but a supportive one so when I need to call volunteers to ask them to participate or lead a particular project, I try to give them the option to say no and not make them feel guilty about it. It's the best I can offer at my pay grade. :)

I'd like to join the Mad Church group. I'm not a pastor but I assist 4 of them plus a director. Creating margins...I refuse to check work email from home anymore. I'm starting to be firm on not taking work home with me anymore. So far everyone is supportive but we'll see what happens when the busy season hits. :)
