There comes a time in your life when you realize that no matter how excited you are about a vision you might have for something it might take just a little bit longer than you hope it would for that vision to come true – or a lot longer.
I’ve been part of a healthy church plant for almost two years now. The church is growing spiritually, in number of people, and we are building a fantastic new facility. With our church being relatively young, I’ve been able to be on the forefront of setting up and driving a worship ministry with a couple of other amazing people as partners.
When I first started being involved in the church I had big dreams and big vision. I wanted them to pretty much happen overnight. I still have big dreams and vision, but for a while my passion was waning. I was reminded often to enjoy the process but that was getting difficult.
Thankfully my pastor and I had a discussion about setting some new goals for the ministry to meet. We also remembered that we had set some other goals about five months ago. I was able to find those goals and see that they had all been fulfilled and more. The process seemed to be going slowly to me, but in fact, it was going quicker than I even realized it was.
My encouragement to you as you work on building a worship ministry, work on making a professional recording, work on learning music theory, or work on any process that might take a while is to sit back and enjoy it. Don’t stop doing the work and don’t lose sight of vision, but enjoy the process. Set some goals and revisit them. You’ll be glad to see them met and excited to make new ones.
