Baby steps

No, Dutch isn’t walking yet (or crawling, for that matter; but he is saying many great things, like “Ba Ba”, which we like to think is my name).

As I plunge into the depths of seminary training once again I am reminded that faithfulness in the “small” things is what pleases God most. The “big” things will take care of themselves when I am faithful in the little details and when no one is watching. So often success is defined by the big outcome, but this quote reminded me that as I venture deeper in my studies and the long arduous road (of Greek vocab and verb paradigm memorization, for example) this simple reality remains true:

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
