Success is not only about what you will accomplish. It's ultimately about who you will become. Chris and Carol Green were leading while bleeding and hardly anyone knew. Eventually they were forced to stop, rest, retreat and reset."We put ourselves out there, made ourselves vulnerable and accessible, and exposed our true authentic hearts; and when people took advantage of our kindness and compassion, or questioned our competency, motivations, loyalty and integrity, yes, we were taken aback, hurt, and offended (which we hate to admit), and it triggered our introvert instincts to just go home and close the door.We reached our breaking points when the pressures and challenges began to affect our marriage; when they began to affect our physical and mental health; when insinuations and accusations from outside forces and entities, advanced far beyond mere words spoken against us, to actual intentional actions taken against us that had real life-impacting consequences.So, we would retreat. And it would be complete pullback moments, cutting off almost everything and everyone (the guilty, the innocent, the perpetrators, and the by-standers). We were in survival mode, burnout and compassion fatigue. But even those triggered withdrawal responses were part of our process.We learned that you can't ignore the painful affects of crisis, fatigue or trauma by trying to press forward anyway; or by trying to be who and what others may want you to be for them. We had to rediscover who God actually always intended for us to be for Him."
