I love my job but not this week. Virginia had brain surgery. A friend at The Journey had a still born baby. Another journeyer lost is 8 year old daughter in a car accident. My heart is heavy. I want to be there for everyone but I can't always be there. The hardest part of my job is the 3/4 pastor and full-time dad at home with my kids restricts my availability. I feel like every week I'm stressed to get everything done. I feel like I don't give my family 100%, nor do I give enough to The Journey. I leave Paul and other staff having to deal with things that I should be part of and I feel like I let down Journeyers when things like this come along and you want to be there for people but you can't make it work. Even though I can't always be there, my heart and mind are there. This week has been emotional and it puts things in perspective. Work is nothing compared to relationships - error on the side of your family - so pray for those hurting, hug your kids and connect with Jesus because life is short and fragile.
