5 Uncomfortable Tasks a College Minister Should Do This New Year

There are things all of us hate to do.  But, sometimes we must grit our teeth and do them because it is good for us or someone else.....Or....it is just the right thing to do.  Here are five to consider.

1.  Try again to work with that pastor or college minister who is a real pain.
You have tried before and they just are a huge problem because of their ego or competitive sense, whatever.  Give it another try.  At the very least, open up some positive conversation.

2.  Give that student who has huge potential and has let you down in the past another chance.

3.  Don't look at emails or social media until 11:00 a.m. each day.
Try it for a week.  You will not get sidetracked to other things and get more done that YOU had planned and scheduled to do that day.

4.  Look at and study a ministry that frustrates you in order to see what you might learn from them.

5.  Consider and pray about a criticism that has been aimed at you.
What should you learn from it?  Do you have a blind spot you are not seeing?  Are you being perceived wrongly?  AND, the ever so very tiny, slight, unbelievably small  possibility that the criticism might be spot on and you need to make some change.
