Wednesday's Word

What makes me beautiful in the eyes of God is Jesus

Strange Living

Borrowing the title from Tuesday night's message at seven:ten, I wanted to post a variety of words that are written on the whiteboard in my bedroom. I constantly ask myself, "Does this describe me?" This question moves me forward in prayer to be dependent on Christ; for without Him I would never possess any of these qualities:

HUMBLE
HONEST
CONSISTENT
CARING
FORGIVING
UNIFYING
PRAYERFUL
PATIENT
GENEROUS
REJOICEFUL
PASSIONATE
HOPEFUL
UNDIGNIFIED
LOVING

Managers vs. Leaders

Managers ask how and when, Leaders ask what and why

Managers focus on systems, Leaders focus on people

Managers do things right, Leaders do the right things

Managers maintain, Leaders develop

Managers copy, Leaders show originality

Managers have their eye on the bottom line,

Leaders have their eye on the horizon

Managers have short-term perspective,

Leaders have long-term perspective

A manager may OR may not be a leader.

A leader is a manager (does manage at times - part of responsibility)

Great News...

Also this past week I got a raise!

Grace Flows Down

Amazing grace, How sweet the sound

Amazing love, Now flowing down

From hands and feet, That were nailed to the tree

As grace flows down and covers me

RESPECT: to esteem or honor.

Couldn't you hear it roll off your tongue, just the way Aretha Franklin sang it? RES-PECT...just a little bit!

Last week my boss' assistant was on vacation. You're now saying, "so what?" Well, I work in a very small office; my boss (the owner), his assistant (who basically does everything), and two college interns. So the assistant takes the week off, my boss' calendar reads "out all week", and there I was with the entire business on my shoulders (slight exaggeration). To make a very long story short I got to do the assistants job which is much harder than I previously thought.

A word of wisdom: If you don't respect a position, job, title, or status then you should place yourself in the shoes of the one you don't respect. Let's just say that I have a new found respect.
