Who Am I?

What kind of man do I want to be? I was in the habit of thinking this through quite often, but have set it aside recently as my agenda has become task driven instead of goal oriented. This is a fluid and incomplete description, but having the vision in front of me gives me something to work towards.

• Christ-lover above all things
• Dedicated husband who makes his wife feel like she is the best woman in the world
• Father who invests in his children with their God-ordained future in mind
• Generous with my resources of time, energy, and finances
• Patient when the natural response is impatience
• Compassionate for other people
• A good listener
• Well-read in many areas
• Visionary as a leader
• Developer of other leaders
• Encourager
• Friend who is dependable
• A man who is a pleasure to be around
• Authentic in recognizing my own shortcomings & admitting my need for God's help

In the busyness of what must be done I will focus on who I must become.
