Learn enough for the need to become specific.
Pray specifically enough for people and workers to become personal.
Serve faithfully enough for character and teamwork to grow.
Explore seriously enough to test whether another door is opening.
Prepare honestly enough to respect the people and work God may be calling you toward.
