Too Many Babies...

A big enemy to art of renew is we start too many things too quickly. Watch out for too many babies in the crib. Let what you start get to growing before you start something new. There are four stages of birth.

Conception brings anticipation then there’s birth, which brings excitement, then there is nurture. Here’s where the demand comes (poop, feeding, and teething.) There is a temptation to start something new rather than finish strong. Next comes maturity. This is where your leadership and influence gains momentum and credibility. People listen because you have a track record. Don’t just talk about building a great ministry, build it. I know ministers who are a legend in their own minds. Let things mature before you start something new.

Re: Too Many Babies...

Great points. Soooooo true. Things become impossible to manage if you're constantly starting new things.

Re: Too Many Babies...

Jim, I couldn't agree more. I have been thinking a lot about the number of babies I'm trying to rock by necessity for now, but I know I can't be the one rocking them for long term growth to happen. I am full of information about things I need to do, but just need to do it.
