Thank you for this! I really needed to hear it. I feel the same way right now. I started a new position in the Fall of 2023 and I'm still learning it. I help the previous position for 15 years and I was the person everyone looked to for questions and insight. Now? I have only a minimum understanding that allows me to do the current work. Plus, we're changing the technology on the back end (I'm in IT for the University of Oklahoma), so it's even more stressful trying to learn that.
And don't get me started on fitting in on the local church scene!
But, thank you for your faithfulness -- not just to St Luke's, but to your journey with G*d and letting us in on a wee bit of that.
As it says in the Prayer Book (echoing Revelation 3.22), "Hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches." Lord, open my ears to this word from my sweet Sister.
Oh Megan you are so enough! Another lesson I see in any olympic sport is the pacing. As you said, we don’t see the practice, the showing up and getting back up or the bruises from all the falls. Keep coming back, we’re rooting for you and each other as we make this journey. I love your openness and your fortitude even when you don’t see it in yourself. Thank you for this.
Dear Megan, Even though I am much older than you I am just Becoming Episcopalian. Also, a new Vestry member. I have a new job too...called retirement . It takes getting use to.
Thank you for your Substacks. You encourage & inspire me.
We are all enough just need to figure out ways to share ourselves.
