Leadership and Priorities

ginni Church

I've recently been assigned Team Leader of the Setup Team at church. I am looking forward to this for many reasons. I love having a leadership position of some sort and feel like something is missing if I go too long without one. It means a lot to me that I would be selected for this position. I am feeling more and more a part of this church, and this just adds to that. Most of all, though, I've always felt like I grow the most when I am leading others. From as far back as being President of my Youth Group my senior year of high school to as recent as doing Sunday School lessons last winter for Woodcreek, I have consistently been more motivated to seek God and grow spiritually when I am leading and teaching others. Maybe it has to do with others relying on me or not wanting to be hypocritical. Regardless of the reason, I am looking forward to having that added motivation to my recently-lacking spiritual growth.

On a semi-related note, another thing that has been on my mind lately is priorities. I have asked ginni to help me spend my time in a way that actually reflects the things that are important to me. Some of the changes I'm making are to go to bed a little earlier and read (a book, some of ginni's old journals that I've been meaning to read for way too long, the Bible). Also, getting up early a few times a week and running. Running is a passion of mine, but you wouldn't know it based on the fact that I hadn't run for 5 months until last Friday. I am determined to make changes in my life so that you can tell what is important to me based on how I live my life, not just what I say.
