Mistakes can mean growth

I have been trying to face new tough things.  For instance yesterday I had a meeting for my volunteer activity.  I purposely did not volunteer myself for two things.  One because it was not necessary and another that I am already committed.  Then as I was leaving the already too long meeting someone brought up a discussion that made me stay and frankly feel like I was bullied.  Then today as I came in I felt like I was in another situation of the mean girls with the one gal trying to do my job better.  I  could not stand her buillying a kid and I went in. 

I learned something from yesterday.  The next time someone tries to keep me at a meeting with a toxic subject just address it and then move on to my decision.  I also need to pray before any kind of meeting like this. 


I am good at what I do, I can always grow from my mistakes, I can say no and I don't have to do things like they have been done int he past.  I can say no.  I love my church but right now it is just a hot mess. 

I will do what I need to do and pray but I need to feel confident in myself.

Proverbs 19:21 New International Version (NIV)

21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
