LEADING

This is actually from DeeDee.  It is an excerpt from one of Bill Keller's live devotionals...

One of the men I admire the most in God's Word and try to follow is Paul. Paul was a leader in every sense of the word. A leader is a person with vision, the guts to stand up and declare that vision, the ability to inspire others to follow, the fortitude to persevere despite whatever opposition there may be, and the patience to see that vision become a reality. I want to use Paul's life to challenge you in your personal walk to make the most of each day God gives you.

EVERY PERSON has the ability to make a difference in this world no matter what you have been called to do. I don't care if you are 15 or 115, rich or poor, male or female, what color your skin is, YOU can make an impact on this
world with your life and be a leader.

God gives each of us passions, things that we develop a love for throughout our life. God gives each of us gifts, special abilities that come naturally
to us. Throughout our life God opens and closes doors. It is through these passions we have, through the gifts we have received and developed, and through the opportunities that life presents us, that each person can make
an impact on this world during the course of their life.

Throughout the course of a person's life, God may call someone to do many different things. The point is, whatever career or profession you
are in, you can make a difference. The key is to do your very best each day and realize that your life matters.
