Growing Pains, the Spiritual Version

Saturday, December 20, 2008

So...I'm realizing that God still has tons to do in me. I'm realizing that I have to find out how Jesus views leadership and to do it His way. I'm done doing leadership the way I've always viewed it. It's now time to do things the way that Jesus did. So here's what I've learned in the last 24 hours or less. I've learned that expectations are everything. That my expectations for other people are too high and that leads to me being disappointed in them. The result of that is this, I tend to stop liking the person and that is not acceptable. I need to rearrange my expectations of others and in some cases get rid of them altogether. This would make me more effective in ministry, more useable for God, and a better person in general. It won't happen overnight, but this is my new task. To love well while I change me expectations of others. It won't be easy, but it must be done. God is great and he will supply all my needs.
