One of the things with mission is that there is always
more that can be done. There is a danger
that we spend so much time planning, running committees, organising workshops
etc that we lose sight of the mission task.
That needs not to be so. However,
neither should we run ourselves into the ground. God doesn't ask of us more than is possible for
us - and God values our contributions. Adrian

comments: "Don't allow the church to load burdens on you that God never
intended. Not least, treat yourself as
God treats you, with forgiveness, generosity and an awareness of the value that
he sees in you. God has time for you, so
have time for yourself."
