Whether you're in an official leadership position or not, as a Christian, we are leaders in some regard.

Whether as a mother or a Bible study leader, or discipling women, or even teaching a class or sharing the gospel at church, or in your community, the Bible has some great practical instructions for us in the area of godly leadership.

about 70 degrees, meaning, you know, if it drops to 69 degrees, you're

freezing. And I cried the first week there because I was so cold, and I saw snow probably for

the third time in my life. And so basically it was a terrible experience. Just kidding,

the Lord humbles us and breaks us in ways to kind of open us up to know him more and our need

for him. Anyway, the cold, see, now I'm giving it a bad name. The point is, the cold was hard

for me at first, but then the summer took place and we were sizzling and playing in the water

up there, which brings me to this point,
