Planting is a personal thing between you and God. If you fail, back up. Take a breath. Take time to heal. Become aware of the mistakes you made, then go again. The “go again” is the toughest part as everything within you will scream “NO! this is going to hurt a lot-AGAIN!” No matter, it is God that planted that church inside of you. You have no choice. GO!
