Episode 18: Serve (and dance) Like No One's Watching! (Because God is, so ...)

When I was a teenager, I worked at ShopKo, a department store. I was a cashier, and I was terrible. I mean, I can run toilet paper over a barcode like the next kid, but I hated being there so much that it oozed from my pores. I kid you not, people avoided my line because of the look on my face. You know the term "resting b**** face?" Well I have that naturally already, but add me preferring a root canal to being a cashier in that moment, and people were holding their children tight and running their carts over to Beth, the older cashier with a warm smile, and unlike me, didn't have a stick up her butt.

The Bible says we need to serve God in all things we do, cheerfully - at that. 

Colossians 3:23: Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as something done for the Lord and not for men. 

Have you ever signed up to bring the scones to church on Sunday then complain you gotta get there early? Or go to work all grumpy and nasty and bored? Just me?

Listen, we're not working for men. We're working for God! How would our lives change if we gave every task at hand all of our heart, our energy, our focus? What if we gave it 110%, every single time? I suspect for many of us, our lives would change dramatically. Our relationships would change dramatically, and God could finally use us for His higher purpose because we actually ... wait for it ... care!
