As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface. (Genesis 7:18 NLT)
I love the imagery is this passage of scripture. This is a beautiful picture of God’s grace in Noah’s life. God reaches out to Noah, instructs him, and protects him along the way.
While the flood waters were rising, Noah and his family were safely floating on top of it all. The waters came, but they weren’t enough to take down the boat or Noah.

I read this article last week from fastcompany.com. Basically, the article says that today’s generation (millennials/geny) is buying less stuff. The reason, the article says, is because stuff is available anywhere and everywhere. Whatever we want (theoretically), we can get no matter where we live or who we are.
So, companies and businesses have to adjust to this new idea of buying and shopping. No longer is the product the source of buying for today’s generation.
The article lists 3 reasons people buy things in the millennial generation…
A couple of Saturdays ago, I ran my first ever road race. Not a marathon or even a half marathon, but a 12k… 7.5 miles. I actually did a lot better than I thought I would going into it. There’s something about running with a bunch of other people (probably a little bit of pride) that makes it a little easier to keep going when you’d normally quit or slack up.
Everything was going really well until about the 6 mile mark. That’s the point where a lot of the adrenaline (and pride) wore off and I was faced with already running 6 miles and having another 1.5 to go.
I managed another mile as I pushed through the pain. The last half mile, I got a glimpse of the finish line. That literally changed everything. That was my goal and I had my eye on it.
Here are 2 things that happen when we set our eyes on a goal…
Being a young leader (or any kind of leader) can be an overwhelming duty. Being young and feeling like you’re always trying to overcome your lack of experience or life experience can make it even tougher. The challenges that come with leading anything require much of us.
We care about the vision. For those of us that are young, it’s often someone else’s vision that we’re championing, but it still takes time and energy to help move toward accomplishing that vision. Sometimes, time management and priorities can be a challenge.
Here are 3 things I’ve found that all young leaders (leaders in general too) should make sure are a part of their schedule…
