Certainly has been gap. I would like to be more consistent on this, it feels like a good run to share on here. I just have to start on a topic, the rest will flow itself.
Leadership is where i begin
My daily challenge is leadership currently, not only within my office, but at my home and within my family. The Lord gave me three boys and this without question demands a steady consistent understanding of true leadership. With an 8 year old, 5 year old and 1 year old what i do daily echoes in their lives. Garbage in Garbage out could not mean more to these little souls. I truly appreciate the statement shared with me years ago "what you allow in your presence becomes the rule of your command" My processing of this idea everyday keeps me on course, on balance. Multiple times a day as a man i am met with negative opportunities to place something in my presence that will negatively effect me and thus my children and wife. I'm not perfect, i fail, but i am better today then i was yesterday. I often take these situations step back and look in the mirror to see my self making a decision, justly the mirror fills in the background with the faces of my wife and kids. I do believe this is maturity in action.
Amber and i both struggled with being given a third son, we both desired and longed for a daughter. However we both understood that a child is a blessing, a gift and responsibility given to us by our Father. And as time has gone on his humor, bright eyes have destroyed that desire and longing and taught us that our ability to raise boys is a skill. A talent given to use to prepare men to honor, respect, and Christ Like Love a woman someday. So what the boys experience in there presence of love for a women will be their rule of command. So i start with leadership
maybe tomorrow i write again...
