How Big Assignments Can Leave You Feeling Small
I want this prominent place to serve God until I don’t. Sometimes you get called to the messy job you never asked for. Times when the job you got just feels incredibly too much for you to handle. Some days you want to trade your bigger-than-life assignment in for something a little less challenging or take back that prayer you prayed to get it.
