Next steps Quotes

“Throughout my life, I have never stopped to strategize about my next steps. I often just keep walking along, through whichever door opens.

They are the reasons I kept walking, and will keep walking, as long as my knees hold out.”

“Father, help me focus on my strengths and trust others to fill the gaps of my weaknesses”Every leader knows the skills in which they excel. They also are aware of those tasks that they maintain a certain level of competence along with those duties they struggle in accomplishing. In my experience there are "want to’s" and the "have to’s" of leadership. The "want to’s" energize a leader and the "have to’s" zap the leader’s creativity and time. The quicker a leader can find those around them that will fill the gaps of their weaknesses, the more effective they will be in achieving God’s mission.”
