Following while I'm supposed to be leading?

Commitment is about what I can do.
Surrender is about the other person.

Surrender is about following.
Here is my ramblings about the skill needed in this delicate balance....







Matthew 26:19-46 
betrayed, asleep, deserted, denied. commitment leads to frustration and failure

John 21:12-19 
When peter arrives at the attitude of: "no more commitment! Just surrender..." then Jesus says, "Bingo, follow me"  "On THIS I will build my church"

Isaiah 30:21
As you go, the quiet voice behind you will say, "yes, this is the way".

Hey folks, happy Saturday. Today marks the first of what I hope to be several regional CYW Parent Huddles. These are opportunities for parents of teens to gather, learn, grow and connect.

Vision & Strategy

How do vision and strategy intersect with one another? Can they coexist and inspire creativity?







Do you take time to make plans & develop strategy? What are some of the planning wins and/or frustrations that you've experienced?
