Lost in the busyness

I guess one of the most surprising things that I have discovered about officership is how busy you can be. There are times when I seem to be doing so much that I don't have time to think. I'm just about used to preparing a meeting every Sunday, and Bible Study or Home League every week, but it's the little things that take up my time. Little things such as collecting for Annual Appeal, or collecting clothes, and just things like that.
One of my favourite things to do is visiting people. I love to take time out of my week to sit and chat with people about the things that matter to them. Last Friday we were very busy, and as we got to the end of this day, I evaluated my day thinking about what values of the Kingdom of God I had demonstrated that day. I realised that despite feeling totally out of my depth at times that day, I had been able to demonstrate the Kingdom to more people than I would usually on a Friday. This is something that I plan to continue doing with my evaluation of each day. I'm sure that it will help me to keep my focus on the reason that I do what I do.
