Empty Cup

Today we learned that the senior pastor will be telling the rest of the staff of his situation. I approach this with a combination of relief (finally everyone on staff on the same page) and apprehension (how will they all react?). I cannot imagine how he is feeling. I find it difficult, because I know that he needs a pastor in these moments, but also know that I am not at a place where I can offer that to him. I can support him, but also need to support the rest of the staff, and however they are feeling after tomorrow.

So, oh wise blog readers, today the question is...when you are new to a community, when you are new to a congregation, where do you go to get YOUR cup filled? I believe we cannot give to others when we are running on empty. And today, quite honestly? I am feeling just that.

Praying that God is filling your cups today,
Preaching Kate
