As a leader, you may face many different challenges on your leadership journey. It is rare that leaders take the time to truly reflect on the strength you must have to effectively lead any organization. I believe that it is through reflection that we are able to have quiet time with God, identify our own strengths and areas of growth, and privately revisit the moments we have already overcome through the power of Jesus Christ. It is my hope that this reflective leadership journal inspires, encourages, and increases your faith. For if God carried me through, He will certainly do the same for you. Each day is a blessing and a new opportunity to achieve greatness. Reflect, have faith, and enjoy the journey!

Life unfolds in broken pieces, but pieces can be woven together into a fabric with meaning for us and others. We read the Bible and walk the paths of daily life, but as many people have said, they lack meaning. The key to making these strands weave together is the Holy Spirit.

In our moments of listening, we hear the Holy Spirit speak to us--to do, to be, to share, and to grow in love. In the hurried lives most people live, we miss things. We miss the things that can help us, grow us, and make us resilient. But we must listen.

Intersection with others through time and locations across the country and around the world. Intersection with others to continue the work of the Holy Spirit in spreading God's message and His love to the world.May you be blessed at the intersection of love and life.

Choose you this day whom you will serve (Joshua 24:15). Every day, we are making that choice, whether we realize it or not, to live a life that reflects God or a life that reflects Satan. Whichever way we choose to live our life, at the end of that life comes death, then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). You can believe this or not. The Word of God is faithful and true, and anyone's disbelief of the Scriptures cannot change it or make it become untrue. It only concludes one of two things: if you are right, then you did not waste any time; but if you are wrong, then the wrath of God lieth at your door, and hell will be your final "nonresting" place. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)I pose the question to you: Where do you think you will go after you die? There is a place called heaven, and there is a place called hell, and you have the choice now to decide which place you will reside for all eternity. I hope believers who read this book will become even further assured, through the Scriptures, that they will see their loved ones again in heaven; and those who do not believe will receive the clarity they need to know that there is life after death, and the decision for where they spend eternity is their choice.

An angel of God came to an old priest while serving in the Holy Temple and told him his prayer would be answered. Zechariah and his aged wife would bring a son into the world, and he would be called John. The angel said John would be a joy and delight to Zechariah and Elizabeth, and many would rejoice because of his birth. John was destined to prepare the way in the spirit and power of Elijah for the coming Messiah. He took his first breath in Ein Kerem, not far from the Holy Temple. Six months later, by miraculous conception, John's cousin was born in Bethlehem, and his name was Jesus. He was born to be a ruler and king of all people.As small children, John and Jesus escaped the wrath of King Herod, who massacred the innocents to secure his throne. John was taken to the hills of Ein Kerem to hide, and Jesus was carried to Egypt. After the king died, the children were brought from their havens. They often played together, keeping childhood secrets and sharing their dreams. They grew to be men, strong in spirit and hopeful.John struggled to understand his purpose but believed Jesus was the Messiah who would free Israel's people from Rome's tyranny. Finally, in fulfillment of his purpose, John went through Judaea and preached repentance, making the way for the Messiah. He was then arrested by Herod Antipas, the son of the man who had murdered the children of Bethlehem. For nearly two years, John was in a dark prison cell, tormented by loneliness and the king's taunting. He struggled to understand where he had failed, and he began to wonder if Jesus was the one. Then he found his answer.

Does God forgive those who cannot forgive themselves? Can a sinner become a saint? Is destiny predetermined, or do we create our own? Is purpose in life important? These questions and more are evoked in The Sterling Redemption trilogy. In this first installment, Samson's Strength, we meet Samson Sterling, a successful and wealthy actor who has a bad-boy reputation for womanizing as well as drug and alcohol use. When his son develops a serious illness, he returns to his Louisiana hometown at his mother's urging so that she might help take care of the boy. Samson vows to stay sober during his child's sickness, and though he claims that religion isn't his thing, he soon finds solace as well as the strength to stay sober in the faith in which he was raised--the Catholic faith. The nurse assigned to little Joey Sterling's case is Christina Young, and she has dreams of her own, perhaps even a calling. But her student loan debt stands in the way, and the memory of her departed husband remains alive in her heart. Can true love be found in the midst of emotional turmoil, or will happiness be forgotten with a cruel twist of fate?
