Last night during Ed's message he said leadership can be defined in one word- change. It's not for those refusing to move. He went on to say he believes Jesus was the greatest leader in history because he was always changing stuff and continues to change stuff. And then he had us ask ourselves where God might be asking us to embrace change in our life.
This was a great reminder for me not to be a coward when it comes to vision casting change and implementing change. In our area of ministry working with pre-schoolers this is so important. I'm not sure who wrote this but I recently read this about pre-schoolers:
"pre-schoolers are ready to expand their horizons and achievements, to seek out
information, explore new territory, and make sense of all they encounter. Play
along by providing lots of new experiences."
If we want to effectively reach this age group we need to constantly bring in new, changing experiences for the kids sake. How sad would it be if we as adults held back from change because we may not be comfortable with it at the expense of our kids.
I am commiting myself as a leader to embrace change.
