I’ve been focusing lately on how I choose to spend my time. There are things that move life forward and things that simply fill time. I think in many cases we settle for the time-fillers because they are easier. They don’t demand planning, follow-up, and the like. However, too much of that and you can find that you’ve lost years in the process. Thankfully, it’s not too late – if you’re reading this, you have a chance to refocus [thanks to God for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc… chances].
Five great questions to help us refocus today from author Jeremie Kubicek:
1. You have the opportunity to grow to higher levels, what are you waiting for?
2. You have the potential to pour into your team, why are you reserved?
3. You could resolve an old conflict with a phone call of peace, why are you stalling?
4. You could experience deeper levels of depth with your spouse and children, what is slowing you down?
5. You could experience peace. What are you waiting on?”
Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
