Am I Leaky?

If I'm not leaky...I sure want to be! Let me clarify before someone thinks I need new personal garments. I am a children's pastor. I have many people who serve with me in the five areas of ministry that I am responsible for at Union City First Assembly of God: a nursery team, a preschool team, a discipleship team, a Building 2-52 team and a bus ministry team. Each one should know my heart and vision for the kid's of our church and city. I should leak vision. When team members see me in the hall at church or even at Wal-Mart, they should automatically think, "Pastor Lori wants to build kids to know Christ and show Christ." If they have the opportunity to invite someone to church they should be able to express to that person our goal in serving kids. I have determined in my heart that in 2010 I will take more time and care to share the vision. I will not apologize for passionately talking to people about "my kids" when I think I'm taking too much of their time. I will write it, speak it, pray it, until I don't think I can say it again. The only way the vision will be a driving force is if it's put out there continually. When God stirs my heart there should be a ripple effect. I want to be leaky!
