I promise to upload a video blog and some pictures soon guys.
But today is about me reaching out and asking you to join me in this journey – again.
There’s an episode of Drop Dead Diva (super model dies & becomes a lawyer) where a man actually turns himself into a company in order to pay for college. Essentially his share holders get to make decisions for him – what he wears, eats, who he gets to marry etc. I feel a little bit like that man today. Asking you- friends, family, coworkers, supporters, fellow congregation members who have invested in me as I take on the World Race for some direction.
I’ve been called to be a follower on this journey. A LOT of my squad mates have been called to that. In fact at some point we were specifically asked to embrace following – following Jesus, following our team and squad leaders, pick up our cross and just follow – because good leaders know how to follow. I thought I was ready for that challenge.
I’ve been a leader my whole life. I thrive on connecting people, inspiring people, watching people grow, facilitating and giving direction, having a vision for making this world better and getting people on board with it – to see the value in our earth and each other – it’s what I do. I just listened to my personality assessment podcast “YOU’RE A LEADER!!!” – Great…
But these last few weeks as I’ve tried to follow I’ve started to feel extremely lost. I feel like I’ve given up my voice in exchange for hearing others and I’ve become complacent, and when I ask heaven for some direction, all I hear is radio silence. I’ve gone from – “Hey let’s talk to those people over there” to “whatever you guys want to do, I’ll go where you go”. I feel complacent. Like I’ve lost my drive.
I need some help with this journey – so I’m asking you guys – people who care about me and this ministry deeply and want to see him grow me – what does a good follower look like? How can I be a good follower, without becoming complacent? What’s your advice?
