Routine

A sense of normalcy is comforting and I’ve accomplished that sense on a consistent basis for a relatively long amount of time. Speaking generally, the last year or so in Cebu has offered some normalcy. The past couple of years, untethered and adrift have offered another sense of normalcy.

That time has allowed me to establish a routine. Some consistency, a ritual, and the like has afforded the opportunity for growth. It’s also afforded me the chance to look introspectively, draw near to Him, examine the nature of my relationships, and more quickly determine those whom I’d like to associate with on a continued basis and those whom I deem worthy of the investment of time and energy to develop or maintain a relationship with in the future.

I’ve had to make some changes. Severe some relationships and work to enhance others and lessen time invested in still others. It’ll continue that way, I’m guessing, until I’m called home or become a recluse.

Today, Sunday, February 23, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’m aware I need to continue to build my team. My work isn’t done and I’ve been set to task with more than I’m unable to accomplish by myself. It’s a daunting task at times but I’ll remain persistent as my purpose doesn’t allow for surrender.

Loyalty is a consequence of leadership and leadership is a touchstone of competence
