Assignment 19- Reagan Smith

I guess you could say this is advice, but it was actually a quote that I heard from Max Lucado that was something like this, “If you are leading an orchestra, you have to be willing to turn your back to the audience.” This is essentially saying that the conductor of the orchestra must be focused on what they are doing, not what everyone else thinks. This is valuable insight, because there are sometimes where we are leading that we need to seek the input of others and consider their thoughts and ideas. On the other hand, like in an orchestra, there are some situations where you are the sole leader and people are only looking to you for advice and guidance, so you have to be willing to fulfill your responsibility. So whatever the orchestra might be in my life, Student Council, SBDM, or leading middle school students at Church, I need to know that if I’m seeking approval from God first, that I can’t worry about what others think.
