It is good to read that you are serious about your role as a leader. <BR/><BR/>Always remember that actions speak louder than words. Be humble, be wise, be intuitive, be helpful, be considerate, be kind, be strong, be faithful. To lead is hard. But you're right, in everything--not just in ministry--integrity, passion, service are required. Also balance!<BR/><BR/>And no, you don't have to be at the front line all the time. Many wars are led behind the scenes by the greatest generals. The visible ones, of course, get all the glory, but these silent masterminds are the real heroes. So part of your role as a leader is to mentor your team so that one day you can stand back and then let them take over. That is the greatest thing a leader can do, to teach and then to disappear.<BR/><BR/>But right now, just be happy at the front and don't be discouraged. I like Philippians 3:12-14. Reach forward! Press on! The prize awaits!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762850601924680898noreply@blogger.com
