Leading With Who In Mind? ~ Be the "Pioneer" God has called you to be.

One day, a few weeks ago, our family decided to do some spring cleaning.  While cleaning, I like to listen to music or maybe a teaching while I work.  On this particular day, I was listening to music and a song started to play that was given to me about a year ago as a testimony to what God was doing in my life.  The song is Pioneer, by Rick Pino.  As it was playing, Holy Spirit began to speak to my heart about leadership.  There was a point in the song that made me pause and say, "Wow."  (I love it when God shows me Himself practically.)  You know, when His word comes to life in the everyday things that we do.  On this day, it was about leadership.  It was blessing me so much that I picked up my phone and started recording what I was hearing the Lord speak to my heart.  It was a question posed to get us thinking about leadership that leads with the "follower" in mind.  Just another example of thinking on things that are above and not beneath.  Above thinking isn't selfish.  Above thinking considers others.  Above thinking sacrifices.  These are just three practical applications that was impressed upon me.  It really blessed me to have God challenge me with being the kind of leader He would have me to be.  Hope it does the same for you.  Many Blessings!!
