Mixed Blessings

I got word today that I wasn’t chosen to look after our church’s website. Obviously that kind of sucks as I was looking forward to possibly being actually paid to do something I’ve been doing on a volunteer basis for the last few years. Without going into great detail, it’s frustrating as one of the reasons I was given for not going with my proposal had to do with an area that I was most excited about working on – staff training/equipping/development – and was also an area that caused the most frustration for me as a volunteer due to the lack of staff training/equipping/development.

It’s a bit of a chicken/egg situation as I see it, though I’m guessing those involved don’t. I was frustrated with the way things were being handled and let that get the better of me in a few situations that obviously colored/out-weighed anything else I had done on the positive side. Such is life. Learn and move on. In the word of K-trew: “Suckas can’t be frontin.” (I don’t actually know what that means.)

I could vent and rant here and be quite angry (and I may still… haha) but it’s not worth it. Now I can walk away from that volunteer position and have more time and energy to put into other areas of interest.

Phew… that felt good to get off my chest. Now I think I’ll go relax and play a little Xbox. Oh $#@!Frak!#@!
