This morning God reminds me once again about characteristics of real servant. There are 6 of them, but 2 of them strucks my heart:
- Real servants do every task with equal dedication
- Real servants maintain low profile
Many times i look down on simple ministry, meaning that i'm not that happy on doing little thing <-- i want to do biiiig thing. Maybe it is because that i've done this before even beyond, so i thought i deserve more challenging ministry. A-full-of pride mentality of me! I know i was wrong. And i knew that God wants me to persevere and do every task, including every little task with equal dedication. I believe that God wants me to see it from different perspective and He wants me to learn about being faithful on every little ministry He had given to me until the time is come when He want me to minister in another field - in another height of challenge.
So, i still went to the church with struggles in my heart (it is my turn to serve as usher today and this is what i'm struggling recently). Today is the first day of my serving in the new ushering team, which is also my 2nd periode serving as usher member. But, God is so good. He answered my prayer n struggle so fast. Before the prayer meeting started, someone came approached me and informed me about the ushering. Starting next week, I will be the usher captain!^^ So happy to hear that!! But in the other hand, there is a little fear in me also. I'm afraid that i won't be able to become a good usher captain. As i was also an usher team member whom always look onto the captain, observing the captains and complaining as well. haha... So, i just afraid that my usher team member will also observing me and complaning to me as well.
Well, i believe God whom give me the chance to do it, He will also providing me with wisdom and ability. Amen =)
Let me share photos of me in my usher dresscode: Hawaii-an~There was story behind this usher dresscode haha.. *can't share it here

In conclusion, God plan everything in the right time. So, if you have the same struggle as mine, maybe God wants you to learn to be a servant whom have the characteristics of real servant. A servant who still faithfully serving Him, when he/she doesn't like to do it. And a servant whom humbly serving, not hunger of promotion.
