An Inward Reflection

Monday morning, arguably the hardest of days to get out of bed. I wake up with thoughts about the job: what could happen, what could go wrong, what surprises are in store, etc. I'm thankful for a 1pm-8pm shift that allows me to awake around 8am and devote my morning to read, meditate, and prepare for the day ahead. I'm an Area Manager with the company now, so my responsibilities have increased; this job teaches me leadership skills day-to-day, whether by experience or via studying my bosses and how they handle certain crises or situations. I saw this quote on Twitter (I forgot who it is attributed to): true leadership is measured by how well things are being run when you aren't around. God is building leadership skills in me for His purposes; what the future holds I don't know, but in the mean time it is being faithful with my job, church responsibilities, finances, and the metamorphosis of my character.
