Oy veh! I need a crash course in html! I'm fishing through this code trying to find out how to make my side-bar font smaller... but at the same time this is really fun. I am truly a person who thrives on novelty.

Novelty is a great thing. It can a wonderful source of motivation, to get up and go. It can also be the perfect pick-me-up when you're feeling low. I think that God even sometimes uses novelty to fire us back up with His passion.

But I think that the love of novelty can be dangerous. It can make you get bored of things too quickly, and not finish what you started, like a call from God. I read about a leadership style in "Courageous Leadership" by Bill Hybels that described a person who loves starting up new ministries, but then once they're established, hops onto a new one. The positive side of such a leader is that they have lots of creative ideas. The down-side though, is obvious. What you can end up with is a whole bunch of under-developed and weak ministries.

With CCF committee elections in our midst, I have been looking at my own leadership qualities. Though I don't believe that I am a 100% "start-up" leader, I think that I have the potential to be one. I tend to become bored and/or disillusioned with things very quickly, and frankly, this is not a quality that I want to develop any further. I pray that God will help me to see things through from start to finish; whether it's school, caring initiatives, work, or callings from God.

I believe that spaghetti is awaiting me! Goodnight ^_^
