The scriptures tell us that a "workman is worhty of his hire." IN the midst of doing what I love, there have been things that have been required of me in the job that I do not enjoy doing, yet must be done. Let me teach, preach, counsel, talk, debate, share and be with people and I am content. However, the job of administration in the role that I function in is an must, a necessary evil. It is during the latter that I have found the biggest growth, where I have been stretched out side of my comfort zone and learned to trust. There is also the "call" to whatever it is that God is calling you to, and with the call comes sufficient grace. There is a great movie that has been out for about a month called "The Bucket List". Check it out, I think you will enjoy it. Think about it, you want to eat, you got to work. However, I live not to work, not to eat, but to be obedient to the one who created me, breathed into me the breath of life and called me. As I seek to fulfill and be obedient in what it is that He has called me to, I find that I fall into both camps, which isn't a bad thing.<br /> <br /> Douig Van Veldhuisen Nathan,

I do gauge nearly everything I do according to how it will impact my work/ministry. I suspect I am someone who works to live, though I actually don’t work that much.
