1. life is not about me. It's not about what I want.
2. Little nitty-gritty admin stuff are nothing compared to the bigger, ginormous things going on beyond the nitty-gritty stuff
3. Treasure on earth and treasure in heaven - I think I'm beginning to see the difference
4. It's not about what I do. God works because He wants to, and He works in His way.
5. Work goes on because there are always souls that need to be saved. The nitty-gritty admin things that you do may seem insignificant, but they are part of the ministry of saving souls. There is such a thing called time-off, but no such thing as retirement.
6. Long distance running is more important than a short distance sprint.
Why is it that real passion for the ministry builds up when I'm two months away from stepping down?
But then again, as G said, don't underestimate what God can do through you, no matter how long or how short a time it is.
