I had a few situations where the younger helpers in kids church tried to take over in situations including mine. I initially was upset because I felt they were not being respectful. Then I thought about a few times I tried to help Pastor Michael and instead was trying to take over.
Having staff who actually want to work has been a game changer for me. I am learning when to allow them to help me even if it is not how I would do it and then stepping up when I need to.
I am learning it is better I allow Pastor Michael to fail and also to let him deal with the situation the way he feels is best.
I can't change others but I can change how I approach things.
Yesterday Mike announced to me that I needed to take his car in for repairs. I don't have to wait but take it in. Initially I was mad because it had been a problem that had been going on for months and I felt it was not fair that I had to clean up his mistake. But then I thought about it. Really it is not a big deal. I am off and also able to help him out. And actually there is tons of stuff I can do around here in the house.
