Adulthood

On Wednesday I washed my car and while I was sitting in the car wash I looked around my car and noticed how clean it was on the inside. "Wow," I thought, "I'm an adult." So long ago were the days when I used to just throw soda cans in the backseat. Now I don't even drink soda. This is clearly a sign of adulthood.

It's been that kind of week. Perhaps it is the new fancy planner I bought. I just feel very in control. It's been awhile since I've over drafted my bank account or asked my parents for money. I'm starting to actually pay my credit cards down (thanks be to God!). And I really feel like I'm taking off at work. The other night I lead my small group guides meeting. The pastor usually does this, but it was amazing. I wasn't even nervous when I realized the pastor was not coming. I asked for feedback and received it. I asked for supplies for next week and people volunteered to bring things. It was so cool.

I never thought of myself as a leader. I was never a team captain or on student council, or anything like that. Popular people got voted for those things in high school, not real leaders. Perhaps my three years of being a cheer-leader really did pay off:)

But I really am a leader in the church. My passion/talent for planning and my creativity has found a place. Who knew I had the gift to delegate? Even cooler we will be having an intern and I get to be on the internship committee. I've even recently been called a risk-taker.

So all in all it's been a very positive week.

Oh did I mention, I'm going to Elton John tomorrow night. :P
