“Faith alone is the saving and efficacious use of the Word of God, according to Rom. 10{:9}” (16).

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

Saving faith involves the truth of certain facts, such as the deity of Jesus, and He died for our sins, and He Jesus physically rose from the dead. It is not faith itself that saves us, it is Jesus who saves us. 7. Paul teaches in 1 Cor. 15, faith that is not founded on facts is useless. 8.

“Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.”- Barbara Johnson

Human beings have been given a purpose by God, and it is our job to live out our purpose. God gave Jesus a list of things to accomplish on earth.

I think that the main character, Odysseus, from the book The Odyssey by Homer was a great and wise leader. For example, from the book, Odysseus’s purpose is to get himself and his crew home from the Trojan war to Ithaca. Along the way, the crew got sidetracked numerous times and in the end, Odysseus had to rise up as their leader to make sure they got home safely. During their 20 year voyage, the crew landed on an island home to numerous Cyclopes and his crew got trapped in one of their caves with a giant inside. Knowing that this giant, Polyphemus, would eat several of his friends if not them all, Odysseus needed to come up with a way to get them all out.

My favorite quote that I have found is "Real leaders don't produce followers, they produce more leaders". Although I have just recently found this quote, it applies directly with my time in Job's Daughters. I have been a member of Job's Daughters (referred lovingly to as Jobies) for nearly five years and have risen through the bethel (chapter) level ranks to Honored Queen, which is the highest position in a bethel. Although I had learned a lot in those first four years from public speaking, memorizing long speeches and how to organize a group of girls, I hadn't really learned how to be a true leader. That changed this past May and June when one of my best friends, Andi, was going to be installed as Grand Bethel Honored Queen and I was to be installed as Grand Bethel Guide.

He first became a success within his field, making millions. This wasn’t easy of course. He worked really hard to achieve it and even lost it once and had to rebuild it once again.

He did this through hosting podcasts and genuinely building relationships with them. Then, he started Thrive.

While it is important to see this as a lesson to never give up, it is also important not to view this as the way of living. Amber Buckley once said, “If you have money but you don't have people

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something.But I can’t accept not trying.” We all have failed many times, but were able to get up. We learned that struggles are part of life and that struggling helps you get better on what you are trying to achieve. Conflicts will drag you down, but when you reach the top you while never give up.

In “The Gestures of Grace” By: Alison Melotti-Cormack, she talks about what she believes makes a good teacher. Some of the qualities of a good teacher has is a passion for learning, connect with the students, evolves over time, and learns to accept the “bad” students. She also believes that teaching is all about learning and the gestures of grace. Melotti-Cormack’s main point/message is to just listen. She say’s this because from listening to her students she has been able to learn life lessons that she uses to help her students.

Our purpose in life is to serve God. Jesus gave us the Great Commission at the end of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Matthew 28: 16-20 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
