...I'm not one to throw around cliche Christian lingo

...and sometimes I am too careful, not for the sake of tolerance but for the sake of authenticity...but I'll just be blunt here...I cannot do anything without Christ!

So where am I going with this? Well as many of you know I juggle many hats at my job with Mercy House. With nothing more then the determination of a eager post college student I have been wearing very thin. I have been hanging on with the nothing but ego and despite many attempts for the Lord to extricate me from my pride, I have still managed to make this all about me. SO how many times did I have to fall on my ass to realize that I cannot do this without HIM? Well I'm much to prideful to answer that (ironic huh?). No but really, I have finally come to a point where I have set boundaries even when they make me look weak (hint: I am weak). I am ready to let God lead this crazy train, not because I am so humble to let him, but because He has made it my only option. I am learning...slowly...

Thanks for listening to my mantra...more ramblings to come...

I do not have anything amazing to say here. I wish I did:-). But, thanks for sharing. I have discovered that boundaries are often not set when it comes to social service workers and that is why burn out is so high. It's a lesson you must learn in order to serve. I love you!
