I'd love to work as design consultant with a design/architect team again (as I've done many times) and yet those have been separate short-term mission trips and nothing gels in a more permanent way. I'm feeling held back at this point in my life, for whatever reason, which is frustrating. I have been talking with ArtsLink already, and I'll check out your other ideas. Bless you, and thanks for your encouragement here. Margeret responded to this post after it was imported to Virb; she says:

PRESS ON! As a mobilizer, I sometimes find that I experience a bit of frustration because of the lack of job descriptions. However, I think the added effort to really "negotiate" to a point of understanding pays the dividend of a better "fit" when you get to the new setting. I would guess that the couple who experienced frustration because they were in an ill-fitting situation didn't have much opportunity to negotiate. They probably read a great job description, and took it. I wonder if they would have gained a lot of benefit from more discussion and "negotiation" re: the situation they were joining... Would they have learned in advance that the current director was still planning to hang out for a while longer? ...enquiring minds want to know. :-) Agreed Paul. PRESS ON!
