I've learned that running away and suppressing your feelings are common methods of control. A true leader learns to reflect, feel the pain, experience it and learn from it. I've learned leaning into the pain with God beside you will reveal the reasons of the "pain" as well as the answers. Change and continued growth is a way of life as a person, as a parent, as a leader and as a follower of Christ!!

The process is always tough but when you come through the other side you are stronger and another level that you may not have experienced without the pain.

The old saying is still true. No Pain, No Gain. If it doesn't hurt, it isn't working. Oswald Chambers says “Before God can use a man greatly, He must wound him deeply”. — Amen to that –
