The summer of 2007 was major period of transition for me. That was the summer I went from being a carnel believer to a spirit filled christian with new ideas and goals. Many of that is in thanks to a young man who exemplifies the tremendous gift of Leader/Ruler.
I have been a acting supervisor for a fortune 500 company at the age of 19. I graduated with honors from NOVA with a business administration degree. I have taught the SAT test material to harvard bound students. I am currently in the process of recieving my accounting degree from George Mason. I have been involved in various ministries that include theophostic, prophetic, prayer, Thursday Night Live, and jail ministries.
My credentials speak for themselves. I know all about going above and beyond duty and there is no other person that I know that does that better than the "Leader/Ruler" in the Thursday Night Live group. He is kind and loving. He does the best he can for the benefit others around him. He truly conveys what good spiritual leadership is.
I have known the person for about 2 and half years. I have gone to him with concerns or ideas and he fully met my requests. I can't imagine better leadership for our bible study and for our community. He understands the principles behind good leadership and lives those out on a daily basis. He finds time for me, even though he is a busy man. He creates projects that don't only benefit him but tons of others. He is a man after God's own heart. The scriptures say the kingdom of God is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy. He is all about bringing the kindgom of God to earth.
He isn't phased by pressure. He isn't broken by problems. He rises above them because he looks to the Son of God to stand as his power. He doesn't realize the impact that he has on others but many have called on him because he is a strong tower for God.
Many of my friends have said of him that he is a cool guy and that he is really sharp. Both are true and evident when you meet him. He talks quickly and thinks quicker. He is slow to anger but quick to love. He is influence is felt among his friends and even his enemies acknowledge him as being impactful.
Many come to kill, steal, and destroy. But he comes to rebuild that which is broken. He makes the good better. He makes the insecure stable. He is a peacemaker and a true Son of God. I thank God for him. I am not naming names but without him, I don't know what I would do, and you know what I think you should thank God for him too!
Let the love, truth, and peace of God fill your life as Jesus has mine.
