Becky's Blog 5 (3/13-3/19)

This week has been CRAZY!! I have had to spend most of my time pulling together all of the last minute details for the event which is TOMORROW! I don't even remember all I have done. I basically had to go shopping for food and prizes. I picked up the books and did last minute printing of the programs, packets, and signs. One thing I found helpful that I wanted to share with all of you was that I needed folders and pens for everyone, and Russ suggested going to the Wesley Seminary and asking them to provide promos for the event. they gave me folders and pens and brochures for the event. Great resource!

The greatest joy this week was seeing everything come together. I am really looking forward to seeing how this event will come out. It was also great to have Jessica back. I found myself not as upset with her when I saw her. I was thankful for God's grace to extend mercy on her. She has been very helpful this week. I missed her organization.

The greatest challenge this week was making sure I have everything we need. Some things I didn't think of until it was too late. For example, I forgot to get the Speaker's checks situated. I didn't realize I needed their address and social security numbers and what not. I felt really dumb when this happened but I had to remember that I'm new to this! I have also been challenged with being really TIRED.

A leadership lesson learned this week is that I finally know what it is like to be a leader: when anything goes wrong it's your fault. This can also be good too, in that if anything goes well you get recognition. Yet, with that I am really trying to learn to be humble too.

Questions: What do you do when somethings goes wrong and it's your fault? I'm not asking for myself, I'm more asking so you stop and ask yourself.
