I went to my first retreat for me this past weekend. I wasn't expecting any 'aha!' moments, as I feel deeply entrenched in my faith, but I need something like this to remind myself to give me permission to delve back in.
And even though I tried really hard I could not just sit back and listen. I made a conscios effort, but they all thought I was the table leader. Come one, Abby. Just once, take a back seat. it isn't about you - it isn't about what you can offer. It isn't about being the best, the flashiest, the most helpful - who said that being a leader is helpful? Pretty sure Jesus asid the exact opposite.
To serve is the great gift. And yet I am struggling with parts of my personality to do just that. I am so angry with myself right now that tears are welling up in my eyes for the third time today.
