stand with others


Today I have been listening to a few leadership teachings by one of my mentors John Maxwell. I also had a long conversation with a friend who is in a very difficult leadership position. Now as my mind reels from all that I learned today and all that I discussed with my friend I try to slow it down as I sit in a certain caffeinated building with green accents. I am reminded by the Holy Spirit as to what really matters for me. It is to love my wife, to Father our kids, and...

To stand with others that stand for something worth standing for. I almost had some tears as I thought about my friend. I hope that I encouraged him, and added value to him. I do get frustrated with myself sometimes on days like this because it reminds me of who I am, and shows me the disconnect between who I am and how much time I spend doing tasks that do not reflect who God has called me to be. Pappa God, continue to reveal your kingdom, your thoughts, your desires, and your treasures to me. I long to lift others so that they may see more and do more for your kingdom.

Perhaps I am a cheerleader as well as a coach?
