Remind yourself everyday that ministry is a marathon, not a sprint. Live, minister and work for the long haul. If you go to fast to soon (or ever) you WILL burn out, it's just a matter of time. When you find yourself in a busy season, make sure to plan some time away at the conclusion of it to refresh, refuel and relax. Take your time and make your ministry matter!

Always a helpful reminder. So often I try to run the sprints without saving energy for the long haul. That's why I think having a clear vision and keeping a calendar are vital to long term ministry. :)
