God's Man | Working Out With Weights On...

One of my blogging mentors, who doesn't know it, is Scott Williams (@ScottWilliams) over at Big is the New Small started a conversation about Chasing Leaders.  While talking about his sons he shares this nugget

As leaders, business owners, bloggers, parents and whatever our deal is.  We will get better stronger and faster if we Chase The Leaders in that particular field.  If you want to be a great writer, follow the leading writers.  If you want to be a great leader, read the leadership books and learn form the leaders of leaders.  If you want to be better, stronger & faster… Learn from the best, strongest and fastest.

We tend to be creatures of comfort and habit but that is not where the growth comes.  You've got to have challenges and challengers in life in order to grow.  If everything is cake and life is sunshine and lollipops than your progress will be slow.  That doesn't mean that you don't rejoice in the good times, but you need to praise in your struggles too.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Philippians 4:12

Last year I took part in an indoor triathlon.  It benefited the Epilepsy Foundation but even more than that was learning that I could do it.  I had a serious phobia that I would not survive the day.  If it wasn't for my coach Glenn, who I chased in the pool for several months, I would not have been able to make it. 

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

So who should you be chasing?

Irene Butler Hebron January 5, 1927 - February 23, 2012 We discussed how not only is God everywhere but he is with us in the moment.  Now to look at how this works itself out in our life.  Let's take a look at this exchange between Jesus and his disciples. 1 John 13:31-38 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.  “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  Simon Peter asked him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.”  Peter
