"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men."
Ephesians 6:7 (NIV)
Ephesians 6:7 (NIV)
College really is the best time of your life. Even with all of the challenges, I would not trade back any of my college days. Instead, I want others to have the same experience as I did. I want to help students who are lost find their place in the university system. So, that is what I am doing...going back and getting my master's in college student development. For many, plenty of questions are needing to be asked and a welcoming face is a great way to make students feel comfortable. During this process, I was graciously offered a graduate assistantship with the office I have been working for the past 3 years. I couldn't pass on this opportunity.
Right now, I feel like I don't know where I belong though. This verse of serving the Lord, not men is really speaking to me now. It is a really tough verse if you are really trying to live it out. I try not to question why I am doing a certain task being asked of me. I mean that is just who I am, but at times it is difficult. Details are not necessary for this particular blog, but a challenge for you is to live out Ephesians 6:7 in your own life. Difficult for sure...

I love the concept of seeking to serve the Lord first. I've found in my life as I seek to serve him, service of my fellowmen comes naturally. I mean think about it, Matthew 25:40 tells us if we do the smallest thing for our brethren, its like we're doing it for Christ.
ReplyDeleteI guess it all just comes down to the "why" of the task--are we doing it to please God, or our supervisor? I'd rather please God :).
Great post, Megan!
