What a powerful program and a powerful concept. Just let go and fall into God's hands.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-86344759714655702832012-02-22T09:35:23.686-08:002012-02-22T09:35:23.686-08:00Your discussion and practical ideas are so helpful...Your discussion and practical ideas are so helpful.

The person intimated that I wasn't doing a very good job at it. I don't believe that's an accurate assessment, but I certainly felt manipulated in the exchange. It's clear to me that this is a power play, a control issue.<br />I hate this sort of manipulation. Honestly, my feelings were hurt but now I'm just resentful. But I'm going to use the tools suggested--no defense, a simple reply and then step out of the exchange. If necessary, I'll resign from the position knowing I did my best as time allowed.

Often I find it difficult to trust that everything is going to be OK. Sometimes living in the moment feels like a guise for denial. I need to keep reminding myself of the difference between planning and worrying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-20978377777117290972012-02-18T15:05:56.222-08:002012-02-18T15:05:56.222-08:00Thank you.
