Just a nother Cold Day in VA

So it's about 9:01 am 6:01 for those on the west coast and I am sitting in side of the dealership, where I purchased my car. I am here to get an Oil Change for my father's truck. How ever by the looks of things it does not look as if he will be getting that oil change today. I have to be to work by 12:15 for my 12:30 shift, and the shop is talking about not having the car ready till maybe 12:00. I honestly do not think that will work.

I am trying to insure I am to work on time. You know how that goes when you are always trying to do things for every one. Over the last couple of weeks I have been making a horrible impression on my new store. I have been late at least twice a week. The sad part about that is that my store is only ten minutes away from my home. It's all well I have to buckle up and do what it do.

That brings me to my Blog topic of today. How to be a leader while yet f0llowing. Briefly in my last Blog I spoke on being successful and what constitutes as success. In life at some point and time we are all asked and (or) placed in a leadership role. It can be for any number of reasons weather to watch our little sister or cousin, asked to watch the class while the teacher steps out . Or it could just be some task at work or any recreational activities that we have been placed in charge of.

As a christian I take being a leader very seriously. I understand that it's not a title that makes me a leader but it is merely the confession of my faith that puts me in a position of leadership. By saying I am a christian by going to church and or singing my gospel albums I invite on lookers to view my life as an example.

I find it amusing when I hear people say they do not like going to church because of hypocrites because nine times out of ten the church members are doing the same thing as they are. I think to my self well if that is the case then what's the big deal we all in the same boat.

The truth is we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23-24
but the good news is we are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. In order for it to to make sense we must understand at one point and time we are sinners that need to be redeemed, and that is where the Lord Jesus Christ comes in.
I John 1:8 tells us If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

So that being said 4How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
So you see we are all leaders weather it is by working on our personal life or by encouraging others simply by reminding one another of Gods word.
Being a saved or being a leader is not a poof on the spot thing. It's a constant job that can never be fully taut but must be fully learned.
A relationship with Christ or with life is not determined but others but it's determined by you.

So how do you be a leader why yet following? Well first you must learn how to accept responsibility for your own actions. You must then find out what does your name mean to you, set your own limits and borders. You must decided that no matter what life holds in its hands you are going to do you. You must have tenacity a drive that pushes you in the right directions. But most importantly in so uncertain terms will you allow others failures to be your flaws.
