Time to Resign

 After going out with the women of CCW for a girls' night, I felt completely rejuvenated and ready for another year of being the treasurer of the group.  The two-and-a-half-hour board meeting that I went to shortly after that changed my mind.  During that entire meeting, I only spoke for five minutes making it an extremely long evening.  While I was there, I also realized that there were changes that had to be made to my position that were going to take a lot of time and energy. I walked out of the meeting feeling completely depleted. 

Those two facts weighed heavily on my mind when I got home that night and made it hard to sleep.  When I woke up the next day, I gave it a lot of thought and decided that it was time for me to resign from the position.  Although last night's meeting contributed to that decision, it wasn't the long board meetings or the changes in the duties for the treasurer that pushed me to resign.  It was the traveling to Indiana and the nights in Orlando with Doug that ultimately made me come to the conclusion.  I couldn't help my family and take on another year of outside projects.  I emailed the board, the church and the treasurers for the Norther Deanery and Diocese that morning and let them know that I would have to step down. 

 As soon as I sent the email, I was immediately relieved.  It was a lot to take on last year, and I was glad that I would not have to do so this year.  I was also thankful for the positive comments that I got back from everyone.  Maybe, I will get more involved at another time, but for now going to CCW, working in the gift shop and attending Bible study will be enough for me.
