I am type A. I nearly explode standing still. My idea of relaxing is to put 50 pounds on my back and go walk in the wilderness for two weeks. Sitting still is not my thing. The exception to that is Bible study. I can sit still for that.
Today was tedious. I resist admin work. Most of the day I was reformatting documents. Or getting them ready for when I get translated materials back.
The only way I get through stuff like this is because I am passionate about the end result. I have found that I can sustain that type of effort for about six days before I have to do something else.
But that is part of this assignment of serving our Lord is it not? Not everything we do is exciting. Some of it perhaps most of it is just discipline. Doing what needs to be done whether we feel like it or not.
Perhaps that is really the height of worship.
