Recovery & Growing Leaders

I'm still recovering from sore throat, cough, etc. When is it going to go away?!? I bet many of you all feel that way when you are ill, too. I find that my lifestyle has changed quite a lot since baby Ryan came. I have less time to myself, so I have to be efficient in squeezing out time anywhere I can. I was sharing with Shawn that during lunch I had no choice but to prepare what i want to share on Saturday at VIBE Easter. Stress. Halfway through and still got to finish it. Less time for everything, but got to work around things. But still, it's a great experience.
I've also been really glad at the young leaders that work in the campus ministry in church. I'm so glad for all of them because they've been able to do things well, even when I'm not there. They've got drive, initiative, maturity, creativity and courage to serve others the best way they can! I'm so proud of all of them. They didn't get here overnight, it was a slow process of growth. They are also still growing, but it fills my heart with joy to see how far they have come. What's next?
I guess that's one my strong beliefs in leadership. Always train, grow and disciple people who will not only follow you, but learn from you. My aim is to develop people so that they become leaders in their own right. Then, give them a purpose they believe it, give them a system that works... and zoom, they will be able to have success. It's a constant process of course. One step, leading to another, then to another.
My eyes are tired, and as a ill person, it's good to go to bed early. Time to shower (haven't shower since this morning!), take my medicine and zzzz!
