CBB class notes continued:
- If you witness someone and they turn you down, just plant the seed. Don’t argue. -Leaders don’t get blown up (i.e. Egos)
- “A ruler (leader) who lacks understanding is very oppressive” -Pv 28:16. -Leaders have a leader’s hand: help people and add value to them. They help them succeed in their own dreams.
- It’s a lifestyle. God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
- Leadership is having a lifestyle of integrity: Being honest in all we do, fairness and justice for all, trustworthy, reliable, responsibly, no hidden agendas or ulterior motives, keeping our word, being on time, what we are when no one’s around, not lying, cheating, or deceitful, and being considerate, consistent, and graceful.
- Peter 5:2-3 “Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly – not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.”
This reminds me of my Senior Coordinator position. I definitely didn’t want it when it was announced. I was grudgeful. I see that God entrusted the 85 women in my dorm to me. I am honored and humbled that He trusts me like He does, just as He did when I was made a Peer Facilitator for the Horizon Program.
……There are far more notes in my personal journal from this class, but I’ll leave this here.
I enjoyed Pastor Steven Furtick’s episode “Move It To The Middle.” He said how the middle and what happens in the middle can seem permanent or hopeless, but it’s not the end. Like with Moses in Mideon. I looked around at my sisters in the dorm and thought of my husband and friends in my life, and thought how the middle isn’t so bad. And remembered it’s NOT the end, regardless of what others and my adversaries think (and hope).
