ugh
it has been a pretty long day. It started out awesome. I woke up after ten hours and i got some important work done. I went into Master's today feeling pretty good about life. Then we had good director time and a good class. Then we got into setting up for the night. I realized tonight some of my frustrations that seem to arise when i work with people who i dont usually work with. When i work with Youth, things are normal. I know how our team works together and i generally trust the decision making of my team mates. But then i work with other leaders. They are all excellent but i just dont get them as well as i get Daniel, for example. I get asked to do something and i deeply ask "WHY?"This isnt a big thing by any means. For the most part, i have no problem working with other church leaders and it is me that has the issue, not them. I need to learn to work with people that arent "my people." Also the set up process was stressful. It was a lot and because we dont do it every week it didnt run as smoothly as weekly set up does. but we got it done and it was a good night. I got a chance to talk to Jason Fitch which i always enjoy. We did tear down and it was equally as stressful as set up. It just felt like there was so much to do. I am not complaining...just venting. then i got home and i watched the Phillies win the World Series. I am not into baseball a lot but this is a huge deal. I grew up in the Philadelphia area and i have been watching news stories for years about Philly fans being disappointed...again because the Phillies/Eagles/Sixers/Flyers choked when they should have done it. But this year they did it. IT was bigger than even the world series. I am happy. Hopefully the Eagles can get one too this year. Thank you for reading and listening to me complain. No Spiritual application today...sorry but sometimes life just leaves you needing sleep.

yes, flexibility is a great attribute of a leader. unfortunately, most of us need to develop it over time. it was cool talking to you last night too.
wow. You have more wisdom than I think your realize. It took me a lot longer to realize that working with people i don't know as well can be more frustrating than other leaders i know than it sounds like it took you. I'm really proud to watch you grow and increase in wisdom & understanding, even if i only get to do it from a distance. I will continue to keep you in my prayers man.
p.s.
Dude, the Phillies winning was awesome, I wasn't able to watch much of it, I had to leave at the bottom of the 8th to go to work, but i was at work, and one of the managers had the game on while he was working on ordering stuff, and he announced it over the PA system when they won, and i was more excited that a Philly team actually won something than the Phillies & the world series themselves.
