Sometimes when you're in between night shifts there's time to reflect and conduct much needed preparation for this upcoming trip. I just want to say thank you so much to those who have supported me already in prayer, encouragement and finances. You all are amazing and I could not do this without you!
One thing that was shared amidst the upcoming leaders were these three dot points and I feel they are relevant to everyone (Christian or not).
• Again, does the world need 20 more followers of Jesus that live the way I do? What does the example of my “everyday life” say about
what I think of Jesus and what it means to follow Him? (Does my life
reflect who Jesus actually is, and what He asks of His followers?)
• James 5:16 says, “Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.” Have you started asking others to be your prayer partner for the summer? Do you have someone who
you could meet with, and be accountable to, in developing your character and the ‘walking the talk’ of your faith? (Start now, not in
December!)
• Read Proverbs 11 and consider how the godly wisdom in these verses applies to your own situations in leadership.
We all have people who watch our decisions and the way we behave - whether they are children, colleagues, friends, family, students, members of the public who may only see us briefly but are also looking for answers... We create a social norm of accepted and appropriate behaviour and facilitate a potential catalyst of how these observers may also enact when in similar situations based on how they have observed our behaviour.
What do you want to be remembered for? What behavioural trend do you want to iterate is acceptable around you?
Be a World changer and a Kingdom shaper.
