Wednesday // Grit :: Influence

Title: Everything I do

Follow my example, as I follow Christ’s example. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 

It was dinner time, and my 10-year-old daughter told a rather dramatic story about her day at school. As she told her tale, I saw her roll her face into an expression she had picked up from me.
I don’t remember the story. All I remember is thinking, “Wow, you are watching everything I do and are figuring out ways to copy it.”

I imagine you, and I have influence in ways that are far broader than we could imagine. There are things we do that others see, admire, and emulate.

Being mindful of that as we go through our day helps those we influence. Leverage that for good. Be a man worth copying.

 

Real men aren’t afraid of their influence.

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
