Seasons: Moving Forward and Looking Back

I am excited to say that I start a new job next week.  I've been thinking tonight about all the things I have learned over the last three years and how valuable this time in my life has been.  Not everything I have learned is related to my work place, but I have a huge portion of my life with people who have impacted me, challenged me, and who have spoken at times some life changing words into me.  I was also thinking of what many people see professionally and what is actually taking place personally are many times (and most times) two different things.  I want to remember the challenges and also the high points and honor all the people I have been able to share my life with during this season. 

A season of testing
A season of failing
A season of learning
A season of receiving a greater amount of love than ever before
A season of increased ability to love
A season which started out of a place of insecurity and fear but was transformed into confidence and ground laying security

Highlighting the areas that I have found most important when working with people:
Boundaries
Accountability
Honesty
Kindness and Genuine concern
Communication
Unity
Passion for the common goal and purpose
