I Just Called...

A lot has changed in my life in the past four months (you can read about that here).

Part of the change has been having a brand new boss. My boss is great and fun and talkative and, no matter how long you've known him, makes you feel like his BFF. He's great...really.

This past month has been tough.

Small Groups are my piece of the ministry and last week we launched over 90 groups with over 900 students as part of those groups. There was busyness and leaders and parents and students and questions and changes all over the place! It was a bit overwhelming...to say the least.

I love that I get to do what I do and would not trade one second of the countless hours we've spent investing is our groups...even with all of the madness.

My boss did something last week (after our first night of small groups) that meant so much to me.

My boss called me...just to say that I did a good job and that he was proud of me.

(This is where the little girl in me comes out...)

I was so thankful for that.

I didn't need for him to say that...because I know that recognition is not the only way that God values what we do in His name...but my boss calling me just to say that, showed me what kind of a man he is...

a really great one.

My boss isn't just fun and awesome in front of people...he's great all the time and thinks about the little things. Little things like calling to say "Hooray! You did it!".
