Success as a Leader

For the past 5 or so years, I have been reading, learning, trying to figure out what it really means to be a leader. I have attended conferences, sat in meetings, and had discussions about the topic. The weird thing right now is that I am about to find out how good of a leader I have been in the past 4 1/2 years. In my transition to a new church, I leave behind a group of students on the verge of doing something great. There are several college volunteers along with several new graduates who are prepared to take over and hopefully do a better job than I did. The success of my leadership will be dependent on them taking what I have taught them and doing it themselves. I know that God is in control and He will do what He wants to do. These students have the opportunity to do the right thing and see other students come to know Jesus and have a better relationship with Him. I am sad to go, but I am excited about what God is doing here and where I go. To God be the glory, forever.
