Hah.. Can’t think of a better title to put in for this entry so I’ll just leave the title as that…
Something I’d like to share from John Avanzini’s sermon from two weeks ago when he was at CHC. He preached about the covering that God has put over us. To bring you up to speed, the covering speaks of the leaders that God has put over us. As he was sharing the message, I was just reminded by God that the position of leadership is a very important one. In essence, we are responsible for the flock that’s under our care and it’s a job that one shouldn’t take lightly. A thought suddenly jumped out at me; that maybe I haven’t been as good of a leader as I can be, that perhaps I am able to contribute more into my flock’s lives and that perhaps there is still room for me to grow as a leader. I think at the end of the day, to become a better leader and person means to grow in our character and spiritually. Spiritually because we need God’s guidance in all that we do and in character because we just need to become better and stronger persons. Well, what can I say… Being a leader is not as easy as some make it out to be. Leaders are problem solvers and have the initiative to do things. Leaders should have immense patience. Leaders should have a lot of qualities that one doesn’t come born with but are cultured and nutured as a person grows. Do I see myself as a leader? Yes; but a leader with lots and lots and lots more to learn….
Hope that made some sense….. Moving on…..
I attended the ROM Ceremony of a friend on Saturday. To be more exact, we were attached way back in JC days. Yes, I can say confidently I’m over her since it’s like almost 5 years since the relationship ended. Yes, I can confidently say that I’m happy for her that she’s married to a very nice man (I hardly know the guy but I can be a surprising judge of character; sometimes). But that didn’t stop funny feelings from coming up. I mean, she was my first relationship and somehow, that holds a very strong emotional attachment to me. Whatever it was, it was. So we all move along in life. I’m glad that we’re good friends now, still keeping in touch and all. And I definitely wish her the best in her marriage…. 🙂
Okay… Enough of reminiscing… Time to come back to the real world… Until the next time, cheers…. :Þ
