This has crawled all over me recently. So much so that I had to intentionaly tell my admin assistant to block out time for me every week to connect with kids. I have hated for a year now holding relational ministry so high on my leaders but being hypocritical about it in my own life. I keep saying that it's there job to take care of all of these kids and my job to keep the support staff rolling forward. This has been a convient excuse for me to not be intentional about delegating more and saying no as well. Arghhh! I feel rotten when I am burried in everything but relational ministry. Absolutely!
