Break-ins

Places where I saw God today/yesterday:

+My meeting with Margee. Her life is complicated. She pushed me to find things that are life-giving. Places where I see God. Hence this post.

+My lunch with Marsha. It was a glimpse that you'd better be ready to get what you want! I have a motivated, thoughtful, empowered woman who was willing to roll up her sleeves and be a deacon. She got a lot more than she bargained for, but I think we'll be able to work together. It makes me realize that I need to spend a full hour every day thinking about this stuff, not just reacting. What she said (about deacon visibility and deacon-member lunches is so cool! It was also tough for me. She is strong and creative and I want to say yes to her ideas, but I also know that the deacons are a committee, and that she is new and can't just come in and rearrange stuff. I also found myself a tad defensive about the state of the deacons, which I need to be aware of. I've been here over a year, so it's more reflective of me than it was when I got here.
