Some things I have (unintentionally) learned this week:
-Sometimes you don't understand how much someone cares until you hurt them.
-Good intentions don't prevent the hurt, or make it go away.
-A year of trust built can be broken in a moment.
-In these difficult times, support can come from surprising places.
-I hurt someone by going against my own gut and listening to others (who were also well-intentioned).
-I didn't listen to myself (or to God) because I let my fears and insecurities lead me.
-My fears were unfounded.
-The hardest part is forgiving myself and moving forward.
-I believe this, too, will help me grow as a minister and a person if I let wisdom speak instead of shame.
-While I was working outside of my comfort zone and being "bold", I see now that my greatest gift lies in my own vulnerability, honesty, openness, and trust. And those may be just the gifts to get me out of this pit.
