We all have something we want to define us. We all live in the tension of wanting to be known for something and wanting to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. 

We are defined by our . . . 
Spouse 
Family 
Kids 
Career
Relationships 
Notoriety

Our self worth is wrapped up in what we do and what we accomplish! I know for me I struggle with this day in and day out. The feeling that I am not good enough haunts me. The feeling that I won't accomplish the right things can at times be paralyzing. 

I am a results oriented person. But I really believe that if we are not careful we will teach the leaders that are around us to be defined by what they can do well and not by the God that made them. I hope that every leader walks away from me better than when they started. I hope that I push leaders to be better and to improve. 

But most of all I want them to know they dont find their worth in what they can and cannot do. 
They are defined by . . . 
The Cross 
The price that was paid for them 
The story that God is writing with their life 
What God wants to do through them not what they can accomplish on their own

If we allow ourselves to be defined by the right things then the outcome is a foregone conclusion. 

My addicition doesnt define me. Its a disease that I live with, but i will always be more than just an addiction. I fight every day to put the pieces back together. Thank you for taking part in my journey. You are not alone!
