This verse came to mind this afternoon while I was praying for the leadership of VWS.
"...with all diligence."
Why diligence?
I looked up a few synonyms/definitions for diligence:
- Earnest
- Perseverance
- Zeal
- Fervor
- Passion
- Painstaking
- Having a purpose and being steadily and soberly eager in pursuing it
- Constant in effort to accomplish something
- Attentive and persistent in doing anything
When the mantle of leadership is most heavy, it is then that we must lead with all diligence. If it was easy, how much breakthrough could we really achieve for God?
The world needs spirit-led leaders who lead with all diligence, persistence, attention, passion and zeal and push back the spirit of futility that otherwise would certainly limit what God wants to do through those He's gifted to lead.
Father, help me and every other leader after Your heart to be a leader who leads with all diligence.

I hope I'm one of those leaders. It may not be in there areas you would expect...but I guess that's why I'm unique. Thank you for the leader you have been. It has truly inspired me!!
I love you.
sorry to hear about all of the crazy things happening with your neighbors. I think that they are inspiring a lot of good blogging this month. Keep on writing. Love hearing your perspective.
Can I just say that I do not envy the decisions and conversations that you have to be a part of?
I am so glad that 'you all' do it, but I know that it must be with a very heavy heart at times.
Carry on, Ann, carry on.
