Leadership.

I'm Phi Lamb president this year.  It's a lot of doing things and asking people to do things--which I don't mind, but it does get a little tiring.  The most encouraging thing, though, is having girls do things without me asking.  I have girls messaging and emailing me about things they've done or asking questions about things they want to do.  I love it!  It makes me want to work harder myself.  It also lets me know that I'm not leading the group all by myself.  Other girls are taking ownership, and other girls care about Phi Lamb.  One of my fears as leader is that girls in the group will sit back and criticize my leadership and the things the other officers and I plan.  If the group as a whole is planning and doing things though, they aren't going to criticize.  It also frees up my time to look at the big picture and really lead the group.  A leader's job shouldn't be to do everything but to point people in the right direction--toward Christ in my case.  I hope I can be that kind of leader.

By the way, check out this amazing poster one of our sweet and super talented Phi Lamb girls made.  It's these sorts of things that make leadership a rewarding position instead of a daunting task.
