Can u smell it in the air?
Recently, i found myself involved in *of all things* a church project. I had to co-operate with several other church members to try to get a project going and completed. One of my biggest faults I realise, is my lack of patience. Chomping on the bit, I like to see things get started so i can get a feel of where it could go. Its mostly a bad habit which i have to break, I know.
Not too long after that, I also found myself sending an email to members involved…that went something along the lines of -
“We are a small and self-sufficient team. We have limited resources but we make the best of what we have.” We have to. How can we not?
That’s the reality of life. We could wish all we want for ideal elements, but as long as they arent within sight, we can hardly wait around for it to fall into our laps. We dont have the luxury of time.
With limited resources, we need everyone’s 101-percent and maybe more in the project. No time for hold backs, no time for qualms, no time for waiting around for certain things to happen. Sometimes, we have to make it happen ourselves. Thats the hard cold fact.
How much more do we tolerate those who insist on waiting for things to be handed to them ready and on a silver platter? How often do we have to go up against a wall and fall down while trying to climb up, before someone decides to step in, BE WITH US and give a hand to make it WORK?
And why is it that all the church project members involved will know exactly who it is Im talking about, except for that person herself?
Because, she will be too busy covering her ass and pelting back insults. Instead of using precious time to do something worthwhile for the things which most require the time and attention.
And the clock keeps ticking. How much longer do we have to wait for you to snap out of the “everyone’s out to get me” mentality and really really smell the coffee?
