any one have any thoughts on becoming better at both humility and greatness?
the balance between being Good at something (knowing it), and not being proud?
on running continuously (thriving?) and that crash-and-burn that seems to always follow?
.
I feel like I am learning slowly how to be really good at volunteer coordination, at being excited to see everyone, at listening to what needs to be done, and finding delicate ways to talk to the right person about it all, at laughing at most things (although sometimes kicking the kids out of FIRM when they come too early, and in Jaret's words, spoiling all the fun)
.
I love what I get to do here. I love the opportunities I am graciously given, and the people I get to listen to, and interact with. I LOVE the kids. I love the chaos and the balance that we always return to.
.
I did however (between writing those top 2 paragraphs and now) catch myself some Strep Throat that has been kinda nasty to my poor body, even after sleeping all weekend and taking anti-biotics and being good.
