Chapter One

     First of all this is pretty awesome, i just started this Blog YESTERDAY and people from all over the WORLD are reading it! *insert dance here* thanks so much you guys (including the mystery person in the US, i can't think of anyone in the US).

     Over the past few days i have really noticed on how many opportunities i have been given to take a leader position in some way or another; theres me being asked to help run a table at Alpha, doing a peer tutoring class next semester and help teach grade nine ESL math, Being a member of "Link Crew", and few smaller things here and there. If there is one thing i have learned it is that i rather enjoy being in a role of a leader. I'm still rather new to the whole concept, but it's interesting. 

     If a form of authority says you are to lead *insert group needing to be lead here* you don't have much of a choice to say no(in my mind at least, i don't say "no" really well). But just because I'm in a form of authority people look at you different. At school i am something called a "Link Crew Leader". Long story short, i help the grade nines get used to high school. Some of the Grade Nines i have listened to me more then their own teachers or even parents(I'm not sure if thats good, but I'll go along with it). I'm not doing anything special, just pointing a few students in the right direction when they are lost in the school or talk to them when I'm speaking to a class. But because I'm "In Charge"(hahah) they listen to me.

     I'm not sure if God is leading me towards to be a better leader or not. But for the time being i will sit back, enjoy, and NOT FIGHT. Like i have newly discovered. I lost my "Comfort Box" some where is Ukraine, might as well explore the new area and see whats around.

  2. Me too - and I know the feeling. It's kinda strange in the new space - but you will certainly find more freedom in Christ in this new space.
