Follow me to...

…the every-day journey.

The last three chapters of Follow Me to Freedom reminds me to stay humble, to remember both the history and the future in my leadership role, and to realize the responsibility that comes with leadership.  While God has put me where I am today, I can’t put too much self-importance in that because He uses everyone for His purpose.  Not just me, not just you, but everyone.  We all have our unique gifts, strengths, and weaknesses that create our families and communities.  We must find a way to come together every day of this journey.  Good times are easy, hard times are tougher to stay together and work together.  But it is necessary...  Together with the leaders and members that have come before, we all look toward the future.  Without the leaders of yesterday, I wouldn’t be where I am today.  My responsibility is to remember their legacies.  Mrs. Anderson, my teacher mentor, would whisper into students’ ears that needed a reprimand.  I need to remember that when I am tempted daily to whine and complain to others instead of going to someone in private to resolve hard feelings.
