What do you need:

• a relational baseline 
  • people who know you before you burned out 
  • people to walk with you through where you are 
• a willingness to allow a perspective shift 
  • backup and gain some perspective 
  • our gut says “move closer to analyze this problem”. not helpful 
  • vacation in a dramatic way, visit a different church, learn something new, change the way you see.

  • find things you are thankful for 
  • make a list of today’s thankful and write it down 
  • Every church will hurt you and heal you in different ways 
  • Do you believe that God can restore your situation? 
    • What small step can you make to show that you believe this? 
    • Can you let a project go? Can you identify a frustration to let go of? Can you identify what burdens you have not been hired to carry? 
  • Daily Quests 
• Consider your company (people)
• Consider your company (job)
• Have you done everything you can to fix it?
• You need grace. So do others
• Focus on your focus (put down burdens that don’t belong to you)
