You message is very simple and well- demonstrated. It isn’t about the flavor of the day trend. It is about trust and integrity and letting the people you work with know consistently you are in it with them and have their backs. Add a little fun and let them know they are appreciated. I love that you show what real leadership is NOT as well.Great messages with a reminder that God has taught us this message from the very beginning.Thanks for sharing your experiences. I enjoyed reading the book. Best wishes on the book’s future success. Sincerely,Julie Doerschler
I’ve heard this question many times in my life. Sometimes from believers, sometimes from those still seeking God, but both groups searching for the same thing, “Does God still care enough to listen to my heartfelt cry because I don’t hear His voice?” Our relationship with God is a reflection of how much we value Him and what we are truly seeking from Him. Do we do all of the talking in our time of prayer or is our time balanced where we give Him opportunity to speak? If God knocked on your door this morning and sat down for a cup of coffee with you what would you say, what would that conversation look like? Would God end up leaving with so much on His heart He had to tell you, but was not given enough time to speak as you did all the talking? Our prayer life should be a time to both share the concerns of our heart and then take time to listen for His voice. He still speaks, the question is are we pausing enough in our conversation to allow Him to do so?
Read this quote this morning and thought I’d pass it on to encourage you today. Sometimes, life hits us hard and we often wonder what God is up to. A.B. Simpson offers this word of encouragement, “When God wants to bring more power into your life, He brings more pressure.” Whatever you’re facing today, know that God loves you and has a plan and a purpose behind it. How we respond under pressure reveals a lot about our character and who we are trusting in. Ourselves or God? Take your burdens to God and ask Him to give you a new awareness of His presence in your life.
Happy Tuesday! One of the goals behind writing my book and sharing my stories was to encourage and inspire others in their journey, that they’re not alone and there is hope to see them through. Recently, I’ve had people reach out to me after reading my book and ask if they could purchase a copy for their family or friends and have me write a personal note of encouragement to them, which I’m glad to do. One was from a Father whose son recently graduated and now working under a Brake Leader and having a very difficult time. Typical brake style as I describe in my book. I was glad to personalize it with specific encouragement and autograph it for his son. What a blessing to do so. I have to tell you how humbled I am and thankful to God to help in anyway I can. If you know someone who is going through difficulty at work or life in general and would like to encourage them with a personalized message, purchase a copy through my website and send me a note as well and I’ll get it in the mail to them. Have a blessed day.
I’m not sure what I enjoyed reading about more… the fact that the author has experienced more workplace trauma than I have, or the way he chose to process that trauma and turn it for good each and every time. It was refreshing to hear Greg’s perspectives. I honestly feel less alone in the workplace as a result of reading this book, as an employee and as a leader. I also picked up some tips and tricks that I can put to good use as a leader. Cynthia Weiss
