The personal challenges of planting a church
Proverbs 13:12 “Hope differed makes the heart sick.”
How do you deal with the disappointment of expectations?
[EXPECTATION MANAGEMENT]
How do you respond when you don’t reach your goals?
>> Beware of the pitfalls of your personality type. All ahead – or – the planner? Don’t let your greatest gift become your biggest liability. You will burn out or become frustrated and walk away. So how are you wired?
>> Find balance. (Vision, goal setting, hard work vs. reality, circumstances & trust)
>> Release the obstacles not under your control. Learn patience. (People letting you down, the reality of the process…)
The promise -- Hab. 2:3
>> Focus on being a finisher. The way to survive is not to focus on quick snapshots. Focus on trends!!!
