Humbly = in a manner showing no signs of pride or self-assertion (mirriam webster)
Humble = Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful (free dictionary)
Servant leader: It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions…The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature (wikipedia)
Why I talked about this..this kinda heavy talk...hehehe...Usually I like to write on my blog some easy thing..but..because this blog about share my daily life and what I got in my life, I really want to share about my experiences this Febuary..meet some big leadears and they are really humbly and servant leaders!
My office was busy with a lot of preparations, since end of year, especially start this end of January, because we will have some VVIP guests visits our lovely office. And it mixed feelings, excited, tired, happy, confused, flat, or feels nothing. Some of them we've know but most of them we didn't know or met before!! Especially me, I just met 3 of 40 peoples before and less I have no idea.
And when it comes, they visited our lovely office. And at that time I waited at front of door with some friends to welcome them, and I met special person ( A man that inspired, and I've known by his book, and the person that I've been waiting for more than 6 years just want to meet him directly). Yup, the one and only, he is Dr. Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International.

He is the great and humbly servant leader who inspire and influence me. I've know just by read his book, his message at inbox to all staff Compassion International, story from some people that already met him. How I'm jealous when my colleagues told about their story met him! And when that day comes...He was looked into my eyes, and hug me and give me his smile. Oh My God, I'm cried, I felt the sincere and warm heart at that time. I still amazed and still flattered!
He also shared some inspired story and encouraged me so deeply about children (his passion). I'm trullly blessed. And I'm so proud when I explained to him about my tasks and he's concerned and at last, he gave me a big hug, and I'm saying "more than 6 years I've waited to see you and God give me that opportunity" and I'm cried...then he said" "You must get a big hug then, God bless u". Oh My God I felt the warm of father's hug, I felt that he respect what I'm doing and it feels so deeply. (Did you know bloggers, every time I've remember this, always cried and could feel his warm and sincere hug).And last time we've met before we've tooked pictures, he put his hands at my face, looked at me and say, keep singing (that was a funny story when me and my team sang a song), and keep serve God! and gave me a big hug!!
You know it feels like when you're in the desert and you've get fresh water when you thirsty..that was I felt!
I'm thank God for him, for blessed and loves children with his whole heart, soul and life. A trully's man of God! I'm proud to have leader like him, I'm blessed when I met him directly and read all of his books!
He is Dr. Wess Stafford! Love you, big hug and huge thanks!!
