I was praying about my service in my church last night and how I don't know if it's actually making a difference and how that discouraged me...Thank you!

My husband and I are involved in quite a few ministries at church and I often grow frustrated when we get asked to do yet something else and there are other people who don't seem to be doing anything at all. Recently I have been really struggling with how I feel about this, so this post has really helped, thank you.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088670939184519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-29880363253117722562013-07-08T16:09:29.116-04:002013-07-08T16:09:29.116-04:00Loved this post.

As staff I think we have a different kind of ownership of the ministry, and when others don't share that ownership it can get frustrating. Also, I struggle a lot with serving joyfully because it can be very hard to distinguish between "work" and "serving" at times. All this being said, you hit the nail on the head with everything you said. Also quite timely as I opened up my email this morning to a request to serve in the nursery in a few weeks because the regular volunteers have all backed out, and I hesitated before answering. Yes Lord. Let my answer always be yes when I know it is you asking...Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740657423253697304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807180913108287708.post-21244546757332802412013-07-08T15:16:41.056-04:002013-07-08T15:16:41.056-04:00Great great post.
