thoughts on leadership

We always have a choice in the way something ends by the way we choose to begin it.

But does that mean we go in without expectations?

Wait. No - just different expectations.

Not so much expectations of winning or losing - but as Psalm 37 says - expectations of truly showing Godly character.

Be the nice guy - but more than that.
Stand tall and strong in the authority and freedom of Jesus.
Confidence, not arrogance.
Wisdom, not information.
Purity.
Joy that is unexplainable and magnetic.

Being a "good leader" has nothing to do with not getting upset - it has to do with cheering for those who made it and helping them be their best.

A servant like that could be mistaken for royalty.
And royalty he would be.

The Melody of Your Grace

Oh Perfect One

Oh Beautiful

Oh Lover of my soul and

Satisfier of my every desire

I look to the Heavens

I soar through the sky

My wings are lifted by the joy of Freedom

I feel the clouds and breathe the air

The cool fresh air

From here I swirl and dive and twirl

Wherever your wind blows me

I am completely and totally free

I fall backward through the air

Caught by a cloud that envelops me

As a soft, deep Comforter

The sweetness in the air surrounds me

And draws me to your majesty

Up here there is no worry

There is no concern

Though I may fall to the earth,

Yet I will float lightly upon the melody of your grace

When troubles come and fear comes to draw me away from you

I will close my eyes and fly

I will soar through the sky

I will remember that I am yours

And again, I will float upon the melody of your grace

I was reading my journal entry from a year ago and this is what I found. I thought it blog-worthy.
