I've probably blogged on this question before, it is what I ask anyone who has just taken any leadership on anything. It is what I asked the brand new trainee preacher yesterday, having just led his first ever service. And it is what I need to ask myself too. So on Friday i was pleased that I took the opportunity to have us push out of our comfort zone, people willingly learned the unaccompanied two part harmony, in Latin. I'm pleased we stayed focussed on the task - to enjoy being together whilst singing - despite the shortness of time. Saturday's auction of promises I was pleased that I kept checking in with those who were making it happen in their various roles. We raised around £1000 and people enjoyed themselves, so I think we can count that a success too. I was disappointed that no one wanted to bid on my encouragement session, I think I should have given a more concrete example in my explanation, but bless her, my friend who came along at the last minute, she bid on it rather than see me spurned. So even tho she gets that kind of attention from me regularly anyway, we will now arrange a particular session on it. I am grateful.
Hectic morning, two things back to back, fortunately not too far away from each other. Today I am pleased with myself for throwing out insurance documents dating from even before I was in this house. No wonder my filing cabinet is overfull.
