Time Off

Who does that? Seriously? Being a part of ministry is often little personal time and loads of "church on the brain." I have two more days and I'm struggling with not getting back to work.

Everyone I have talked to has said to relax and take time, but what about ministry makes this so hard? I think that because we are doing work for God, we feel a since of responsibility to never stop, never let up, and to keep going, often sacrificing our own sanity and mental health.

This vacation has been a blessing, I have spent more time digging into the Bible and praying, then while working. I have gotten to enjoy the company of my wife, learn and grow with her.

So for anyone feeling stunted in their growth, take some time. It will work.
