Good Morning! I thought about this all night, and since I have a free moment I don't want to lose this in the mass ideas that I get throughout the day!
Philippians 2:1-4 New King James Version
1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.All night I thought about the challenge of successfully completing a year of total selflessness. The hardest challenge isn't time or money. There is a true challenge that comes with being humble. You are no longer the leader. Synonyms for Humble include: meek, submissive, unassuming, plain, common. With a degree that was concentrated in LEADERSHIP STUDIES sometimes its hard to realize you aren't always the strong, proud noble leader and that in most philanthropic scenarios the only way to learn the lessons you are receiving is to abandon all arrogance. You need to really begin to feel how the people you are helping feel. I'm going to have to learn to have faith in others as they lead me. What a challenge, what an exciting challenge!!
Today, I'm going to stay home (it feels like we are in Antarctica outside) and enjoy my family! Tomorrow I plan on going to church in Minneola, and then the family and I get to go pick up a good friend from the airport so that tomorrow we can take him back to Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
