I think the biggest lesson I have learned is how much of a support I can be to whoever I am following. I think it is easy to take for granted those who are leading us and think they really don’t need anything from us.

One of the greatest lessons that I have learned being under someone’s leadership is that what I sow, I reap. If under someone’s leadership I am critical, proud and self-serving, when I come into leadership, these same characteristics will manifest in those that follow me.

I have learned that being under solid leadership is the healthiest place to be as a follower of Christ. When we place ourselves under leadership, we align and position ourselves for tremendous protection, wisdom and health.

The Bible is full of teaching about how to treat those in authority over you. How to treat your boss, your leader, or your government. It’s so easy from the cheap seats to make judgements and assumptions about someone’s leadership.

To be a good leader, you must first be a good follower. If you can’t follow another, you can’t lead others. From the moment I became a follower of Jesus, I have simply loved to follow the life, teaching and ministry of many men and women of God who have inspired me to be all He was calling me to be.

How do you cooperate with your spouse in seeing both your dreams fulfilled, together? I am so thankful for the incredible woman God has gifted me with. I am blessed above and beyond because of my wife. A simple compromise for us was a very practical one. I am a huge football fan. Love watching [...]

Shortly after Jay and I met, we began to talk extensively about our dreams for our lives. To be honest, part of the attraction that we had for one another came from the common life we wanted to share, similarities in our dreams, values and how we connected spiritually.

During one of my Dad’s sermons years ago, he said, ”Husbands and Wives, you are on the same team, wearing the same jersey, cheer each other on, be there for one another, stop acting like you are on opposite teams” and it never left me.

I spent the first 25 years of my life dreaming of nothing but becoming a wife and a mother and maybe a social worker/counsellor on the side if I had any time left over. But all I ever really wanted was to get married and have 4 children.
