Thanks for the great reminder to put God first- and the rest follows.......with that I'm going to go have some alone time with God. Thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316163376559534774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852038198572196516.post-62024858762537819872010-08-25T08:54:03.105-07:002010-08-25T08:54:03.105-07:00Thanks for all your comments.

I hope all of us as leaders start talking more about caring for our souls and being refreshed in Jesus - to encourage others (and ourselves!) to make the time.Angie Weszelynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852038198572196516.post-49015066383043653832010-08-24T18:49:44.482-07:002010-08-24T18:49:44.482-07:00Well said Angie!

Most recently when a Spiritual Director asked me what I was doing for my soul lately. To which I shrugged and shifted my eyes to the floor. Couldn't quite tell her. Your words are a GREAT reminder. Thanks sista!Tracey Bianchihttp://traceybianchi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852038198572196516.post-22539424522298337382010-08-24T16:16:03.480-07:002010-08-24T16:16:03.480-07:00You expressed your embarrassment or regret that yo...You expressed your embarrassment or regret that you didn't know this sooner. I fear this happens too often in Christian organizations. When I got promoted into major leadership responsibilities at 26 just as you said I was learning a mile a minute, getting "trained" by reading and talking to people. Over the near decade that I served, I absolutely dried up spiritually. A good mentor could have/should have spoken up and directed me toward dependence on God. Rather I was encouraged to take on more, and the vicious cycle continued. Sadly I left the organization totally wiped out, burned out, and wanting out! (Hating both myself and the org, and doubting my faith.) <br /><br />So keep talking about this, most importantly to younger leaders who need your experience and wisdom. You just may change their story...<br /><br />Thank you for your honesty.Melody Harrison Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394541782145297090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852038198572196516.post-57512400290406130232010-08-24T16:05:51.877-07:002010-08-24T16:05:51.877-07:00Angie: This is great.

It can be a battle sometimes to carve out this time, BUT it is always always always worth it! Thanks for sharing this :)Charissa Steynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121020662287989473noreply@blogger.com
