So, I am pretty much the most grateful person in the universe right now. Pastor Dino did an amazing job with Staff Meeting and Sub30 today, and some of the things he said really hit home. I won't give you all the points, but I want to share some of my favorites.
He first discussed Psalm 84:10 and what it means to be a doorkeeper. It's such an honor to just be on the edge of what God is doing! I would rather scrub floors in the House of God than be an honored guest in a palace of sin!
Marks of an MVA (Most Valuable Assistant, because we are all assistants in the House)
*Get the job done without drama- can't be quarrelsome and must be able to contain emotions
*Address your ego- let go of selfishness and schedules
*Always be respectful- even though some people are really hard to be respectful to
*Tremendous people skills- can't say "That's just the way I am"- that's defeat!
*Be likable- can't be a barrier to what God is doing in someone's life or will do later
How do you keep loving what you're doing?
*Expect moments that aren't pretty- see the ugly stuff and still love it
*Receive and look for correction- correction is attached to anything life-giving
*Accept the litter you were born into- your family at home and your family in the House
*Don't take it for granted- God can do it without you, so be grateful!
