I also ask Him for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom on how to deal with whatever confronts me. These two actions cut down on my stress and, as I see God's faithfulness, I can be thankful instead of worried.

I used to tell the youth, "You'll wreck for sure if you go through life looking through the rear view mirror instead of out the windshield." I've tried to do that in my own life, not always successfully, but it's a goal. Your blog was inspiring on two levels to me: one, to consider others work with, to want to be the very best we can be for them. Everyone's time is valuable. If I'm not on my game, am I wasting people's time. Two, let it go when I mess up? I can't be 100% all the time, but I can learn from my mistakes and make adjustments to up my odds. You have always impressed me with your dedication and energy, your love for your work. Others see what I see and more. God will handle the rest. :) Rachel Great post, Jen.

I still wince and feel the embarrassment. I later received national recognition from this same person for projects I led. But... I'm also an introverted thinker, which compounds the problem, especially when working with extroverted thinkers. I had to add structure to meetings which would allow my introverted thinking mind to work at its best. I think it annoyed my quick thinking and quick talking coworkers at first but then became an anticipated addition. Thanks for sharing! Just reading your post made me remember a few incidents.

I'm a fixer and I'm often too quick to rush in and try to fix something when I should be letting God work. so that's something I'm working on. :-) Great post, Jen!
