Two years in...

I've had fewer meetings this week, which has allowed me time to catch up with my team and spend time with them. I do enjoy being able to share ideas, methods and experience with people who are interested in learning. I've also valued time to find out about aspects I don't know well myself. 

During challenging times last summer I told myself to give it two years before deciding this role wasn't for me. I figured the first year is full of newness, the second year starts to bring familiarity, and then there can be enough which is established and second nature to fell less overwhelmed and more able to enjoy the challenge. It does seem to have worked like that.  

I'm glad; I was confident this was God's doing in the beginning and I've hung onto that at times, so I'm making sure I enjoy this breather before the next bout of hectic.
