Do you identify with being “strong”?
Are you who everyone else leans on?
Is your number the one people have memorized in case there is an emergency?
Yes. Yes. And yes for me.
And there is a part of me that likes that people feel safe with me. I feel like God is glorified in how I love those assigned to me.
But then there is that other part.
That part that gets TIRED.
That part that loses my temper.
That part that used to look around when I was hurting and felt abandoned because there was NO ONE.
It was THAT part that God gave a hug and told me it was ok for me to feel that way. And it was THAT part that needed to feel loved and eventually needed to heal.
It is that part that needs to come chat with us.
I want to say THANK YOU to all of our beautiful community who came through yesterday on our group’s first #H3•C3 call. We are the giants that God has commissioned to do amazing work in the world. We do it beautifully. But that is a heavy load to bear at times.
Most people do not understand the BIGNESS of what we carry because we carry it “so well” but we need space to put the weight down. That’s what this group and our meetings are for. I look forward to seeing you at the next one.
I know you are strong. And that’s why you need us. (And we need you too!) Feel free to invite a friend who needs it too!
Action: Check out the calendar and ADD to your private calendar so you don’t forget.
See you soon!
