:) exactly. That language has been ...<br />...herd cats.<br /><br />:) exactly. That language has been used around here by others. It's indeed quite like that.<br /><br />I find it just demands more and more of my time to take care of ones self. When the work is tough like that and I'm filled with self doubt... it takes more time to process it or pray it through or even to take time for good rest.<br /><br />It's true that good character takes time and energy to develop and to keep in place. But I think it's that character that also makes us good for what God has called us to be doing.<br /><br />I guess I'm just saying, take care of yourself Toni. Be gentle and gracious and patient with yourself these days.<br /><br />Besides, if memory serves, I think you like cats.<br />:)<br /><br /><br /><br />Randall Friesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112919973262687369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-53619886016203656672013-07-05T01:40:02.195-06:002013-07-05T01:40:02.195-06:00Isn't it.

Last night we had just 7 at one point, starting a meeting 10 min late, because one of the other leaders came late, then she walked out a few min after that. She's had a busy week and was 'not in a good place' to stay, but it provoked all the questions about what had I done wrong, why was I still doing this etc etc. Yup, lonely. The other person who carries the same level of responsibility is away right now.<br /><br />The church is growing, God is at work, but we're getting a really bumpy ride at the moment.<br /><br />Next week I re-start the worship team, commissioned by the leadership team to do so. I REALLY hope we can do it without baggage from before, and it will be a part of the new thing God is doing with us. I hope it will be a team, and not one man's effort to herd cats.Toni Ertlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191085694671148065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-56427086467660203802013-07-02T16:07:56.934-06:002013-07-02T16:07:56.934-06:00Indeed. :)
