Our church family has a lot of great things going on and a lot of great new possibilities on the horizon. In order to continue to fulfill our mission, we need to have a solid number of committed volunteers. And yet sometimes I allow priorities and comfort zones and past experiences keep me from choosing to help serve at church. But what if I chose to stop making excuses for why I can't volunteer? How can I get better and consistently connecting with and serving my church family?
Most of us know the frustration of setting goals for ourselves in different aspects of our lives and then failing to stay committed to achieving those goals. Often we find a variety of excuses to justify why we fall short of what we set out to accomplish. What if, instead of making excuses, I chose to follow through on the things I know I need to do? What would happen if I kept trying again instead of giving up when things got tough? As I begin a new year, it may be time to recognize the things in my life that need to be different, and it may be time for me to fully commit to those changes - no excuses!
