Today,
I was officially announced as the next manager of the integrations team. I never really thought about being in this
position, but God obviously had other plans for me. I am humble enough to realize that it was not
me that got me here, nor is it going to be me that is going to make this a
success. My only hope is to get out of
the way and let God “steal my show,” as TobyMac would say.
I
had my doubts about if I was ready or not.
I mean, I had only been a team lead for six months. But I believe God has been preparing me for
over two years for this exact moment. He
put it on my heart long ago to live a life of servanthood, and that’s what I
want to do for my team. For what is a good
leader except a servant? A good leader
realizes that success comes from those reporting to him. So, the more he can equip them and remove
their obstacles, the more successful they’ll be. And I believe God has been putting me in
situations to build those values for a long time.
