dear Metro,

Thank you for being so willing to serve in the very many events that we have because as you have probably noticed by now, there are a lot. Despite the events coming one after the other, you serve with a joyful heart and you do what the role entails with much excellence. For your zeal to give it your all so that the members can have an amazing experience, I personally  am grateful.

I pray that you stay humble and remember that everything – your talents and the propensity you have towards certain skills  comes from the Lord. Accept your personal limitations and weaknesses but more importantly those of the people you’ll be working with. Sometimes no matter how much we envision something happening, things don’t go as planned. Even though we have weekly coordination meetings, unanticipated things occur. Don’t let those discourage you but rather lift them up to the Lord so that one day we may have the grace to understand as He does.

Get to know your service counterpart and your committee members because who knows when you’ll be able to work with them next. I truly believe the people He blesses us with at certain points in our lives are the people whom He knows will bring out our potential. They are the ones to make us discover things about ourselves and bring us closer to Him; even if it’s just for the five week period that we’re working with them.

May you always have the thirst to acquire new skills, improve your craft, and receive guidance. When you’re pro and you feel like you know the service role like the back of your hand, remember to pass the knowledge you have acquired to the younger ones. Be gentle with them as they learn just as how someone patiently taught you the hows, the whats, and the whys behind a particular role. Lastly, may you always remember to use the skills you have to glorify God whether it’s through events we have in the community or in your future workplaces.

As with everything, these things are easier said / written than done. But that’s why we’re all serving with one another – so that we may remind each other when we feel lost amidst the crazy timelines. 🙂

♥,

Sab
