A year has gone by so quickly and it is easy to move on quickly onto new year resolutions for 2017.
I would like to take time to be thankful for the significant lessons and experiences this year, especially the many firsts I've experienced this year...
Overcame the most challenging phase in the history of the sector I've been in
Had the opportunity to experience management and supervision at the same time
Appreciated change in the midst of discomfort and uncertainty
Felt the power of relationship over dogma
Learnt the importance of being constructive
Grappled with the pain of others' fallibility
Realized the need to forgive to move on
Gained confidence and clarity to face accusations
Observed and explored parts of self and attained meaning and value of authenticity
Recognized valuable outcomes from flexibility and spontaneity
Discovered the strength of appropriate anger and advocacy over crippling depression and anxiety
Experienced the value of compassion over criticism
Encountered the might of simple practices of prayer and Bible reading
---
Amazed by the unexpected lessons and experiences..
Thanks to God and all the significant people who've been a part of life.
