I love a leader like Betty because she mixes her leadership gifts with her life experience - even when it includes things she'd rather it not. I love this because it's what enables her to become who God destined her to be - and it's how she will leave her mark of God's glory on this world in a way only she could. And I love it because it encourages the rest of us to look at pain and tragedy and all our experiences, good or bad, as opportunities to lead with our gifts in service to the God who gave them.
