Growing up in my family there were five children, I had two sisters, and two brothers, but I was the oldest. Being the oldest I had a lot of responsibility. My younger siblings always looked to me when it came to getting things done around the house. So I was always in a lead position even when I didn't want to be. I always tried hard not to be in front. I never wanted a lot of attention, but it seems the more I tried to fall back the more I was placed in front. This position followed me all of my life, no matter what I did. There is no escaping who you are, and what position you are destined to be in, because if God has placed you there it doesn't matter what you do to try to avoid the position, you will always be right where he has placed you even when you get finish doing all you can do to avoid it. So I learned to lead with Strength, and Courage at an early age because I didn't have a choice.
