Day 3

At work today, I got the opportunity to steam a few curtains...now you might be thinking, wow, that is sure stimulating and such taxing work? Or you went to school for how long to be able to steam curtains? It was actually a really eye opening experience for me. Steaming curtains would not be on my highlights for work experience and I was slightly frustrated because I know I am qualified to do more. As these and other similar thoughts are floating around in my brain, I thought, "Hannah, you can't always have the glamour or the fame, sometimes you need to do mundane. It is not always about accomplishments but rather getting the job done. Life doesn't have to be lived in highlights sometimes it is the tasks in front of us that create opportunities for more. There are no small things." It was as though God was speaking to me through a little (BIG) steaming project. In ministry I am not always going to be on highs or getting recognition for the things I have done, rather the church will still need to be cleaned, trash taken out, light bulbs changed, copies made, house calls, sermon writing...this list could go on and on...no task is too small. No job too mundane when you are doing it for the Lord. It is a simple lesson I easily forget!

Thank you Little Man for teaching me a very valuable lesson!
