Great Leaders!



I often hear people say, "I'm not a political person." Well, regardless of any political party, if you live here and are a citizen~ You Are An AMERICAN!! Our Country is in need of some Great Leaders today! Maybe you don't want to be an influence or get involved in any way. That might work for a while, but you know as well as i do that at some point you'll have to get off the fence and take a stand! Like many of you, I've been feeling & seeing a great divide happen in this Country and it's our responsibility to let our voices be heard. We will also be accountable for things we do not do!!! The Lord knows our potential and knows how we need to grow! You may not be in the public eye, but God watches all! Believe it or not you influence (whether good or bad) people everyday~ and the ripple effects will go on and on!! Much of society today seems to honor people who don't have (great) character, in fact it's quite the opposite! In my opinion the people we look to as heroes and heroines should encourage us to stand for truth and righteousness. I want to follow individuals who have that spark of Divine intelligence. Make sure you know who you are following. We should require nothing less from ourselves!! It won't be easy. Progression in this life is going to hurt. We are being molded for something bigger than we even know. When we decide to make a stand (no matter where that is) you have to remember you're gonna get hit, cuz everyone else around you may still be sitting!! What is your personal mission? If you don't know, you should at least be in pursuit daily of something, perhaps a Worthy Cause!!!! We will have to stand before God. Let's get our affairs in order and be valiant warriors. As you can tell my heart is full! Here are a few Great Leaders that i've learned a tremendous amount from!
