so tonight i quit.
on Sunday in church we talked about going to wise people for advice. My parents, my department head, the dean, my mentor, my brother, and everyone else I've spoken to has told me repeatedly that this is something I can't commit to. So, I took their advice.
I feel pretty crappy.
hopefully I'll adjust.

I like to read stuff in chronological order, so I read the previous post before this one and had a comment in mind that I didn't write. I didn't write it because I thought it would be rather presumptuous of me to give advice. I respect you and wouldn't presume to know how to make your decisions better than you do. All that being said, good for you! My advice can now be converted to validation. I think you made the right decision. I don't know all of the details of your busy life, but from this narrow snapshot, this was probably the right thing to do for right now. I hope it happened before you were permanently 'damaged' in your desire to serve in this type of role. You seem pretty resilient, so I think that's probably the case. It seems like far too many times, when in serving roles, people are stretched too far. It really sucks when that happens because it steals your joy in making a difference through investing in another's life. That should never be allowed to happen. Serving others should be a joyful experience, but it it has to be forced, what's the point! Good for you my friend!
