Someone from our blogging family asked me to blog about, "What does Herbert know now that he wished he had known when he started PC?" So here it goes!
1. I wish I would have known that ministry is a marathon and not a sprint.
2. I wish I would have known that not taking enough speaking breaks would wear me down.
3. I wish I would have known that high caliber people would leave their job and take a pay cut to come help accomplish a God-sized vision.
4. I wish I would have known that taking my time to make the right hires would pay huge dividends for the church.
5. I wish I would have known that you never arrive so enjoy the journey. I always thought when we got to 200 people then I'd start having a blast. Then, it was 400, 700, 1000 and it keeps going on and on. Enjoy the journey.
More tomorrow!
