leading

Just some leadership thoughts...
 
Wanting MORE and having VISION are part of good leader's DNA.  The issue of "buying in" through being a part (thus giving of yourself and everything else) is what stewardship is all about.  I get that, and the people who are "in" make life and ministry that much sweeter.  Getting others "in" is God's work and my need at church.
 
This VISION for The Community Fellowship is so clear in my mind.  In fact, I see some things that I cannot even share as of yet.  Some is still a ways away.  That is tough and I am still learning.  One of those is a step of faith.  I understand that the church will only go as far as I have gone or am willing to go.  Once again, that is the point where the enemy loves to kick me or keep me back.  I want MORE and I mean MORE of God and MORE impact in this community of ours.  I say that I am willing to do what it takes, and that is so stretching.
 
I sent this http://www.perrynoble.com/2008/04/16/where-do-you-get-your-vision/ from Perry Noble earlier today.  Good stuff to say the least.  That is where I am and SO want to be.  Perry wrote:
 
"White hot, hell charging, world changing & people inspiring vision comes from intentional and uninteruppeted time with Jesus...in HIS word, seeking HIS face through prayers-staying connected with HIS Holy Spirit throughout the day.
 
"So when people ask me, 'Where do you get your vision?'  My answer is always the time...I meet with God & I don't move until He tells me to move...but WHEN He tells me to move I go until He tells me to stop...
 
"Leadership is as easy as listening to God..."
 
Right now the commitment to the new work is so very good.  My heart and my prayer is that this work will make such an impact and see God work in huge ways that we cannot exaplain it in any other way that "look what God is doing".

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
