Being who God made us to be rather than trying to be someone you're not is what's important. Ministry is not push button - if you follow this scheme or this path you'll have success. It is about using the gifts and abilities God has given as the Body of Christ used with love and integrity to further the Kingdom's Reign. God is responsible for the growth scripture reminds us. Thanks again for your honesty again it is one of those great qualities of leadership.John_Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286729844281353694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097110489603528078.post-58594920158910419052012-02-29T13:57:17.541+00:002012-02-29T13:57:17.541+00:00Love this.

I seem to fall into the same trap so often and it inevitably robs me of the confidence I should have in God's strength and plans for my life. It's a lesson so many of us need to learn, and it's encouraging to learn that leaders we admire are still human and have the same things crop up.Pete Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05194568865034977933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097110489603528078.post-37883963527636897162012-02-27T22:36:53.714+00:002012-02-27T22:36:53.714+00:00I have those same feelings about myself a lot too ...I have those same feelings about myself a lot too so thank you for being so honest. I have to constantly remind myself that God doesn't want me to be someone else. He just wants me as I am. He has placed me where I am for a reason. Not to try and be someone else.gallagheronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013723155884416508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097110489603528078.post-64780131600758120802012-02-27T19:17:02.103+00:002012-02-27T19:17:02.103+00:00That's why we all trust you at NCLC because yo...That's why we all trust you at NCLC because you are so honest. Proving you are not so full of yourself. We all have them thoughts like why is he or she better than me. But as you told us at Teesside this Sunday with being married or single. none is higher than the other. You have people looking up to you also. So just keep what you are doing. Your doing a great job in helping us being Christ-like.TrevorGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756534139364527631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097110489603528078.post-71800416192427108022012-02-27T17:19:59.275+00:002012-02-27T17:19:59.275+00:00Thank you for being so transparently honest son.
