Day 2 - The Connections

This is the second day of my committment to excellence. Now that I have more of my time freed up I am able to connect with people on a much deeper level than before. Yesterday I spent my day connecting with four people two of which are members of the church and the other two is a college friend and coworker. I was able to connect with them deeply about their life's struggles, victories and frustrations. It is so good to be able to listen to people and hear their stories. Before then, I would not have had the time to sit and just LISTEN. I thank God for freeing up my time for ministry matters!

Day 1-The Commitment

Today starts a new day and new commitment to excellence in my life. I have taken a leap of faith and have given up my position as a principal for a charter school that I am the founding principal of. I have been leading that school for the past 5 years and felt that I have taken it as far as I could at this point. I have been blessed to be able to turn it over to my wife to lead as I pursue ministry at a more deeper level by working par time and spending the other part of my time focused on growing the church and multiplying leadership.

I comes with many challenges. The main challenge for me is being disciplined enough to set a schedule and stick to it and do those activities and things that would yield much fruit in my life. Yesterday, I began that journey first by allowing a member at the church to hold me accountable for my health. I have committed to working out and eating better (I didn't say right) consistently. I want to get down 160 pounds and 32 inch waist. I am currently 180 and 38 inch waist.

I also want to commit to having a regular study time for personal spiritual development and development of my weekly messages and lessons. I will keep you up to date on the things that God is doing in my life as the days go on and will document the people I meet and the lives that God will impact along the way.
