Disciple leadership

 This week we focused on Disciple leadership. This week really touched my soul. Social Innovation is fascinating. It takes thinking outside the box for sure but it also takes Charity. The pure love of Christ. Having that love for someone or something like the Earth, motivates us to care for the person behind the issue we are concerned with. It really takes focus, drive and passion. You have to have grit keep at it. There will be many challenges in whatever our endeavors are. However when we lean on the Lord we can, along with his help see miracles happen. 

I love this quote I read this week: President Ezra Taft Benson said: “The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.” This is so true. I have seen this in my own life and in many other people's lives. Christ literally takes us from nothing and molds us into something! So grateful that he does if we allow him.

I personally hope to make a difference in the foster care system. I have two foster daughters. The system is really broken and I see a need to fix it. This class has helped me to begin to understand how change comes about.
