Many of you have a passion to lead others. Chances are, you will have many opportunities to lead during your lifetime. If you’re able to seize these opportunities, your influence will continue to grow for generations to come. Maybe it’s the desire to make a lasting impact on the world that drives so many of us to want to lead. Maybe it’s the desire to make a lasting impact on your family.

Regardless of why you are driven to lead, many of us share a burning desire to lead others. We know that the best leaders get to live on - their legacy is defined by their leadership and it far extends their lifetime.

So what are the keys to being a more effective leader?

1. The most effective leaders are always investing in strengths.
2. The most effective leaders surround themselves with the right people and then maximize their team.
3. The most effective leaders understand their followers’ needs.

In knowing the desire that many of you have to lead at the next level, the Leadership Summit was designed and created to further your education in strengths-based leadership. The Leadership Summit is a 2 part class that focuses primarily around the strengths of an individual leader, as well as further development of their individual strengths.

In John 17:20-24, He prayed that we would be one, and One Prayer is an opportunity to see what can be accomplished when the Church begins to work together.

This week we had the awesome opportunity to hear from Craig Groeschel, Pastor of LifeChurch.TV in Norman, OK.  Pastor Craig gave an awesome message entitled, God is LOVE.  We saw 6 people cross over the line of faith this week and give their lives to Christ.  We’ve now seen over 120 people surrender their lives to Christ in 2009 - over 250 people since we started Pine Ridge Church less than 2 yrs. ago.  God is up to something - the best is yet to come!!

It’s like everyday with him is a brand-new adventure.  Everyday I watch the kid learn something new.  Everyday I get a glimpse into his world and I want to be a bigger piece of it. Everyday he wants to try something more - he wants to push it a little further.  Everyday he gets a little braver.  Everyday I see our little baby quickly becoming a little boy.  Sometimes I get excited about that and most of the time I want to hit the pause button.  He’s growing up way too fast!!

It’s amazing to me how he wants every bit of our attention and when he figures something out he wants to make sure we’ve seen him.  There is no doubt that me and Becki are there to be his biggest cheerleader and nothing is more rewarding then seeing that HUGE smile he gets on his face or when he laughs so hard that you think he is going to pass-out!! :)  Yeah - he pretty much has us wrapped around his finger - and yes he/we know[s] it!!

There is so much about him that I love.  I love our Saturday mornings together [even when he wants to get up before 7am].  I love coming home and opening the garage door and before I can even get a foot in the door I hear him screaming “da da” from somewhere in the house.  I love when I call home during the day and I can hear him screaming in the background.  I love it when Becki puts me on speaker phone and in his gibberish he tries to carry on a conversation with me.  I love when Becki brings him up to the office for a surprise visit and he decides to destroy the place.  I love it when he knows he has the attention of the room and he soaks every bit of it up.  I love how I can wrestle with Becki on the floor and she can scream like I’m hurting her and he will race over to protect his “momma” [seriously he gets upset].

I love “bath time” with him at night as we make a huge mess in our bathroom.  I love going and getting him in the mornings as he dances up and down in his crib.  I love hanging him upside down and throwing him up in there - yeah he loves that!!  I love how we can sing, “shake your booty” and he will “shake his booty”!! :)  I love it when he head-butts everything and then cracks up at himself.  I love it when he crawls up in my lap with his “lovie” and just lays back with me in the recliner.  I love how he waves at every car, person, dog, and anything else that passes him during our walks at night [he thinks everyone wants to see him].  I love our nightly walks together as a family.  I love how he has brought me and Becki even closer as a couple.  I love how he has forced me to change and rethink so much about myself.  I love knowing that I have a direct influence on the man he becomes one day and fully accept that responsibility.  I love being a dad and I love the son that God has given us.  I know everyone thinks there kid is perfect - but ours really is!!

Happy Birthday Bro - I love you!!
