Grieving Leadership

Life is filled with highs and lows and lots of ordinary, boring days. A leader that I greatly admired recently came crashing down. Definitely a low place.

Another friend said that what makes these things difficult is that there seems to be no place to file the experience. Our hearts and minds don’t have a category for it. Then another friend said he had to create a filing system long ago for experiences like this and now it’s overflowing.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Today I’m leaning into Jesus a little more. I can’t change what happened. I can only process it and learn to forgive. It feels like we should be able to do more though. So today God is asking me to become the leader that I want to see. And that is a task worthy of my energy.

Lean into Jesus, friends. Become the leader that you want to see.
