Jodie's 1st post
Why did I agree to be part of Signet Leadership at this time? Well, What am I waiting for!! No time better than the present - I can't put it off any longer. Christ return will be soon and I want to be found ready and those around me to know. I am up to the challenge.
I see an urgency out in the world right now, I want to do better at what I do -do. I can continue to keep adding 'jobs' or 'labels' to my life but if I don't do good to what I commit to - I am a clanging cymbal.
What am I passionate about? I want to be effective in children's/ teens lives. If these kids of this generation don't make a commitment to stand for Christ now - the chances that they will as adults is very slim to none. It's a tough world out there and we need to equip them with All they will need.
I also love to scrapbook - preserve those memories. Let my kids know how loved they are.
Growing as a Leader - I think we should never stop learning. But, I can learn and be educated about things and changes I should make - but, if I don't apply them, what good was it. I need to work through the application process. Just as we all are a work in progress through Christ - we can read the Bible but if you don't apply it to your life, they are just worlds on a page(make HIM real). So Work It Out - is my new goal also.
What 5 things that could Hinder me? As I put off things, like this blog - procrastination is a down fall and being on time. I also hate to ask people for help, I want to just get it done myself. Is it self control, perfectionism, or just not wanting to bother someone??? I've got alot to learn. I want to be trustworthy, but if I get to much on my plate I feel I have failed at times-many times.
I have to laugh at my self, we all should - right!? I use to think I was a "nice person"! Wow - where did I go? Is it that I could handle more earlier in my life - less stress, or I just don't let it 'roll off my back' like before. I really try to not let people bother me - but it's harder now (am I just older and crabbier?) I might be your greatest 'piece of work' in this group! ha!
Writing and speaking are not my strengths, so I will need to put forth more of an effort in these areas.
What gifts can I bring to the leadership of this church? I feel that I am an approachable person, I hope I can comfort and share the joy of Christ to others. Encouragement is a natural gift - and I enjoy purposefully spreading it. I've got my Dad's big smile (hate the wrinkles that come with it though) and I just now have learned since his death, of what a gift it is. He was remembered that way - always had a smile to greet everyone.
I am looking forward to a bond of growth with this group, a kick in the butt, helping me to do better and be better for the Kingdom of Christ. I hope not to let any of you down- let alone my Jesus.

Yes - urgency - It seems like it has increased even more. What if this were our last year to make a diffence? I like that - kick in the butt. That is good word for all of us.
