Bloom Where You Are Planted
Purpose doesn't require me to enjoy every responsibility. It requires me to steward it.
Glass Houses
Everything I know doesn't require an audience.Everything I hear doesn't require my opinion. Everything somebody sends me doesn't require a forward.
What Leadership Requires
I've also learned that leadership will cost you something.There are decisions people will criticize without ever knowing everything you had to consider before making them.
The Message in the Mess
Life isn't always neat.One person sees clutter.Another sees memories.One sees broken pieces.Another sees restoration. God sees a message.
Leave the Holding Pattern
Sometimes growth requires us to honor what got us here while admitting it won't necessarily get us there. Am I rooted...or am I stuck?
Give the Flowers Now
I've also learned that one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is to love people well while we still have the opportunity.
