ABC Baylor day 2; leadership meeting in the living room

Another day of very useful information at the ABC course. I am very hopeful this project that I am working on will incur positive and lasting changes. Afterwards, Arze and Lisa came over to chat about various departmental issues. A few things looked to be improved. Others look to be unsolvable. It was a great feeling to close another leadership meeting in prayer, especially in my home. I will continue to pray for wisdom and his guidance in leadership for me and those around me. During dinner, Ruth was being disobedient, spitting out her food, and making a mess so I felt the need to discipline her. I am still not sure if I want to incorporate spanking, but it may become necessary. For now, telling her that she was in trouble and placing her in the pack and play worked. She did not like it. When I walked out of the bedroom, she cried, "Daddy!" It broke my heart. I was glad to tell her that I love her before and after the disciplining. It is going to be tough, but I hope to get better at my fatherly duties.

Romans 12:6-8 "We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."

This was my daily email from thedailybibleverse.org that I read this morning. I sent it to those that I felt needed encouragement during tough times of leadership. I am glad God is here when things get difficult. He is always here, and I take him for granted when times are good. My prayer is that I lean on him always, through good times and bad.
