zeal

.

Hmmm.... serving can be monotonous I've noticed! While away at a Model UN conference in Brisbane last week, I found myself sitting outside a lifeless concrete building in the cold one night, plugged into their exterior powerpoint and using University of Queensland's wireless internet, dressed in a suit, because I was meant to be at a ball. All this because I'd not been diligent enough with a church flyer I had planned to do earlier in this week, and so I'd left it to the last possible minute. In a stressful and frustrating moment, the flyer got done, and I was finally free to go to my ball, unencumbered from the tedious work I had to do for God.

serving

.
.

I've been spending more time serving in my church these past months, always finding that the more time and energy I give, the more I get in return. And I don't mean just from the other people working with me (though they've definitely blessed me a bunch). I'm referring to a trend occurring in the other facets of my multi-faceted life - things are surprisingly, wonderfully, and miraculously falling into place for me. It's encouraging and empowering.
