10 things I’m learning about being a leader on the World Race
- Gods opinion always matters most.
- Sometimes you have to resist asking opinions and make a decision. If you don’t it will take forever for everyone to come to a conclusion about what they want to do.
- You have to take time for yourself. People will always have problems and will always need you. If you don’t take time to yourself you will get short with people and end up tolerating people instead of loving them.
- YOU WONT BE ABLE TO PLEASE EVERYONE ALWAYS.
- Forgive yourself for not being perfect.
- Have a positive attitude even when you are extremely tired.
- Read John 13 over and over and over again and ask “am I washing my teammates feet?”
- Have an abundance of grace and ask for grace from others.
- God changes peoples heart, not you. Have patience with people.
- Expect to give and not receive back.
This month I have been challenged in to grow in leadership. Every day I’m learning lessons about what Godly leadership looks like and how to do it better. Some days it’s hard to not get caught up in whether or not I feel like I am being a successful leader. Leading on the world race is a continuous game of problem solving, planning things that don’t workout, walking along side teammates as they and you are growing, checking budget, hoping everyone is happy and no one is hungry physically and spiritually and all the while accepting that at the end of the day their will still be those who are ungrateful that something they wanted didn’t workout. Do your best walk in grace and humility and make sure God is the forefront of all you do. That’s what I’m learning to tell myself each and everyday. I thank God for the hard times with leading because I know He is refining me everyday.
