But, in truth, I needed a break. Last term, by the end, was pretty draining and the rest of the year holds some significant changes and challenges.
But, I needed to be talked into taking, what upon reflection, will be an adequate amount of time off.
For life, especially in ministry, can feel like a continuous treadmill of events, activities, meetings, admin, church services and preparation.
And, there needs to be people who can tell you to jump off the treadmill and stop.
People who you trust...
People who care for you...
People who care about what you're doing...
People who you'll actually listen to.
For, once you've been stuck on the treadmill too long, you can get ground down.
And, it's at these times when your treadmill-stopper needs to step in and remind you that hitting the off switch is ok.
