… obvious, because everything I do matters to someone else in the team.

… proud of the people that I call my church family

… frustrated that pulpits don’t move themselves and we have to remember to turn the special lights on and clean the windows

… breathing space

… the presence of God.

….anchored – in God, faith, community.

….space and compulsion to be honest with God if I neglected/avoided him during the week.

…sometimes disappointed – but isn’t even disappointment a reminder of hope and thirst?

…sometimes I wonder what on earth we are doing, am embarrassed by ridiculous and/or close-minded things that are said or done…but still, it comes back to valuing that anchor, even if at times there are weird barnacles attached!

sad because we could be doing so much more if leaders would let go of their pride, need for control and male egos.I left the corporate world to “make a difference” by working in ministry. Most days now I think I made a bigger difference for God in the secular workforce.

annoyed. At the money spent on all the things that are supposed to make it look amazing. If I wasn’t a Christian, I wouldn’t be caught near a church building for anything. (Um, and actually, I’m kind of this way even though I am a Christian. Just left a full-time job working in church communications, to go to a state university for grad. school and pour myself more fully into a house church.)

Now, when I am BEING the church, I feel excited about how God is working, alive, ready to bring hope, love and change to those on the margins.
