church leader
This weekend is Mother’s Day, so lot of people will not be around. So this weekend service sure will leave few people only. As a church leader how should we face this kind thing happen? what kind of ATTITUDE we should have when members telling you they can not come church because of Mother’s day, Father’s day, parents birthday, friends birthday, who and who aniversary, friends wedding…. As a leader we encourage people to spend time with their parents and honor parents as it is the 5th commanments from God. i love to spend time with my parents too and wish i can go back jb but can i?
im not angry with people who are not coming to church, but just feel lost and discourage when i can imagine that on Saturday will have only few people in church. i always like to work as a team. when i work hard for something and feel tired, but when i know that the rest of the team members are working hard too i will be encourage even motivated to work harder. but when you know that you are working alone, the more you work the more you feel tired and wanted to give up. i have enough of this type of team members in my life… how can we go and win the battle when everyone is worry that wheter the team members are around or not?
i always believe church leader should be a good example for the memebers to follow but i feel that even how hard i have put in the effort also no use. because our heart are not unite for the same goal. when a football team having the same goal to win the game, they will put aside personal needs and work as a team to win the game. will christiano ronaldo (Man U player) tell Alex Ferguson this weekend he can not play because he need to go back to his country celebrate Mother’s Day?
i just dont know what kind attitude i should have(im not angry but lost). thats why i still learning to be a leader.
…church leader…
(i dont like to blog because i will share what is inside my heart and afraid that it will hurt some people even when im not intention to do it, so if you been hurt or angry by my sharing, pls forgive me.)

dear pastor,
as a shepherd, it is part and parcel for people like us to lose our sheep in one fine day. do u remember Jesus’ parable? when the person found the coin that he lost, he used the other coins to throw up a party in order to celebrate the discovery.most of your members are youth and perhaps they wanted to spend this time with their parents as a family. once they have their own profession, just wait until thier parents complain to u saying that their children cannot celebrate mother’s day because they are going outstation or office works etc.enjoy yourself k? u lost some sheep temporarily. i lost my ‘cow’ permanently. now think about that!
