📓 The need for affirmation is inherent; however, some have an insatiable appetite for being validated or applauded by others. After spending countless hours and years trying to please/impress others, she learned that unfulfilled service and ungrateful people caused disappointment and discouragement. She says that there were times and seasons along the journey that were very difficult, which left feelings of: exhaustion, insecurity, discouragement, disappointment, to name a few. By allowing Christ to take the driver's seat, she began to experience an exhilarating ride of a lifetime. She hopes that through reading this book, Christian leaders can choose to diligently work for the approval of God and not people. In these times, so many are in constant search for applause, validation from others for their contributions and accomplishments. She believes that when Christ is at the center, you are free to serve in ministry, for His approval instead of people.
