Taking Steps

I try to be a man with consistency in my life. That is why I am experiencing some unique feelings.
As I lead HRC I find myself changing leadership style, communications patters, time management practices, and much more.

These changes are necessary as our church is walking in "new territory." However, this "changing" is a definite process. It has been impossible for me to simply turn the page on my leadership style. I am still developing the team to lead in new ways. So, I find myself part leading like in the past, partly leading in new ways, and still working toward leading how I need to lead (at the next level).

I am not sure how easily understood these comments are - but, I am grateful that God is calling me to lead - and to lead HRC where He wants our church to go! So, without concern for perfection I will press on toward the prize and keep my eyes on Jesus. If mistakes are a sign of growth - then I must be well on my way to growth! No BLARING mistakes... but there have been some!

My biggest mistake has been my tendency to lead in my "comfortable" zone, and not to make some changes...

So, I will work more diligently to lead through my leaders - and to equip my leaders to lead and communicate.

WOW! Thanks to God for placing me in a position where I have so much opportunity to grow!

Hm. Is it OK to be "impressed"? The humility with which to approach your responsibilities frequently leads me take a step back and evaluate my own motivations and behaviors.

Jesus set the primary example for us, but I have to say that I'm glad that God has allowed you to be a practical example in my life of how to navigate through some stuff.

I encourage you to keep pressing in...Our Father will continue to honor your asking, seeking and knocking.
