So I found myself with three months to design classrooms, find teachers and helpers for 12 new classes, as well as start a children's church while I was finishing up a degree, working a job, and playing in a traveling, long-haired, Christian rock-n-roll band.

My pastor didn't promise a position. He didn’t promise a salary. He told me this "I'm going to give you a title and turn you loose. If you make yourself so valuable that we can't live without you, then we won't live without you." That's all I needed. I didn't realize that he was acting on a spiritual principle that a man's gift will make room for him. As you're faithful where you are and develop and use your gift(s), you can expect promotion. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. If you are faithful in the small things, you Sill be made a ruler over much. It's not your title or position that gets the job done, it's your faithfulness and using the gifts within you diligently that really count.
