i feel like in the past few weeks my heart has been challenged with some pretty difficult stuff...
but God has been gentle...
and the difficulties don't seem so difficult in the lens of community.
i'm trying to learn more about leadership..
because it feels like often there is pride in my leadership efforts...
my heart needed some humbling...
but again, God has been gentle...
and I don't know why that surprised me?
maybe because I can so easily be coarse and almost hurtful when i think it's my place to teach something...
but it turns out that you shouldn't force your own flaws onto God...
because He most definitely does not look like my flaws...
and for that I am thankful...
recently I've been reading a book that is co-authored by shane claiborne and john m. perkins.
it's a book about leadership and followership (yeah, i'm aware that's not a word)..
it's a really great picture of the importance of being a leader by first being a follower...
and it's been pretty outstanding so far... here's a taste:
"When folks share our demons, our struggles and our pain, they also will want to share our hope"
-john m. perkins
