I served as class secretary all four years, and in college, when I was given the opportunity to be the editor of the newspaper, I chose to work in the media affairs office instead. I’ve often wondered if my avoidance of leadership roles was indicative of some kind of weakness or flaw, but maybe God has called me to other things, as you suggest. Here’s to “following where Jesus leads,” no matter what the future holds.

I tell you I have made a couple of key decisions in my life based on I felt called to lead and wanted to lead. But I would not want to be president!

In fact I have shied away from leadership my whole life, however the idea of leading while following Jesus, never occurred to me, what do you know, maybe I can lead. Bu definitely not as president!!

The characteristics you listed as those Jesus calls us to adopt (to be kind, humble, and loving) also describe the characteristics of a good leader.

Would I want to be president? Politically – no way! Everyone is so cruel to whoever is president. I often wonder who in the world would want to step up, seeing what it has become. I believe in praying for our President (whoever it is). He sure needs the prayers of the people.

I might want to be president of some organizations – but only if I felt God leading me, because I would definitely need His help.

Your post reminded me of those days and made me smile. Not sure I can even find my yearbooks–or that I am brave enough to share them if I could!

Thank You, Lord!
