Accomplishing What?

The days are starting to slip past me. World Christian Week is next week and there are all of those random last minute details that pop up.
In and through it, I've really enjoyed the time and haven't minded how busy it has made me. I think part of that is the fact that after the week I will be able to take a deep breath, look back and say "Wow, look at that!" There will be proof of the work that I have put in, proof of accomplishment.
I compare this with last semester - when I didn't do as much, did not have as much visible accomplishment and pause. It is so easy to get wrapped up in a sense that doing things is more important and valuable then all else. But doing things does not determine our worth and value. Yes, there are biblical records of the many things the saints of old did, but there are countless years that are not told of where apparently these saints did not do much; where they were in a time or season of waiting or resting.
The American mindset emphasizes accomplishment; it emphasizes having proof of one's worth. Yet, even in the seasons of busyness may we not forget our seasons of waiting and may we not forget that it is ultimately God who determines our worth and value - whether we are "accomplishing" things or not.
