Well, I was told yesterday by a few people that perhaps I have a tendency to demand too much out of people, sometimes to the extent that if they don't meet my expectations I will refuse to work with them. Well, I think I dissagree for the most part. First of all, when I vent I am extremely harsh, which is why I vent to neutral parties (my wife and warren) before interacting with the individuals in question. Secondly, I feel very strongly that if someone is going to say that they are going to do something that they need to do it.
The idea that I should tip toe around individuals and not hold them accountable or try to help prepare them to do what they have volunteered or asked to do seems a little pointless. Anyway, thats my 2 cents on their comments...although I do suppose that my venting could be a little more gentle. If you ask my wife she will even tell you that I tend to give people WAY too many chances for redemption, which actually suggests the opposite.
Anyway, I'll take what I can from the comments and pray about it and make some adjustments without compromising who I am.
I had a great meeting with my friend Adrian Wi too yesterday!
We talked and prayed through some things, it was SUPER refreshing to hear truth and to be transparent. It cut off the Devil's attack route because the lies and false thoughts were brought to light.
If you have someone like that in your life...take advantage, embrace and pour into that relationship.
