Leading From Your Strengths- Workshop

Be sure to come back and visit this blog.. cause I've just attended a fantastic Workshop regarding Strengths and Weaknesses in our 'makeup'.. Our Character versus 'pancake makeup', that is.

Well, here I am, finally. This week has been a bit hectic but not unexpected after the intense study we have just gone through.

Of course our decisions are going to be challenged and temptations are going to increase. But
Our God is so ABLE to meet our every need.

There were about 18 or 20 of us. A good mix of gender and age, too.

The leaders of the Workshop were outstanding.. a husband and wife team- Nelson and Barbra Fox. They were quick to give examples and to help us understand the 'whole picture'.
It was so helpful and a lot to chew on. Not finished with the study by a long shot. There is so much to digest and put into practice.

This has been a desire of mine for some time.. in fact, I heard about a similar workshop back in April but missed the deadline for signing up. Then again about a month later, another one was going to be held in the Desert Stream Bible Church but the deadline for signup eluded me then, as well. Of course, God had it all well planned, as usual and as usual, His timing was perfect.

I believe that "all things work together for good" and this was one more proof. It was held in The Garden Christian Church, very close to home, where, I not only, enjoy attending Saturday evening worship but find it is alive and the messages are very thought-provoking. Not the run of the mill, traditional church but God's presence is there and the freedom that comes with Salvation is very evident.

Since we were encouraged to share the message with others, I've been doing this at every opportunity. John was keen to know what I had learned, so we looked it over together then sent for the book "Leading from Your STRENGTHS". This came with a free online assessment which John decided to take advantage of.

I had taken it before the course began, (as all the participants had done,) so we all would have something to work with. What an eye opener. Not necessarily information that was new regarding our strengths and weaknesses but how they impact our relationships with others was a biggie. Something to really work on and seek God's guidance and blessing.

This is something that I can highly recommend to any Christian seeking to have more impact on his environment and to be more effective in his or her ministry.

It is highly recommended for small groups and even husbands and wifes can benefit from the study and exercises.
