“The world went and got itself in a big hurry”

Good morning,

I have hit the last week of my sabbatical and I can honestly say I have never felt more relaxed in my life.  It’s amazing what happens when you slow down and enjoy life.  You begin to see how fast the world moves and you constantly get caught up in it if you are not careful (I have been reminded that this is exactly what the enemy wants in our lives).    It reminds me of a quote from Shawshank Redemption when Brooks gets out of jail and says, ” The world went and got itself in a big hurry”.   Brooks was so right in his assessment of the world.  Through this sabbatical and being able to sit back and evaluate the things around me, this is exactly how I feel.  It has made me reflect on the “fillers” in my life and try to find ways to get fulfilled and not just filled.

This week, I plan on reflecting on the habits and clarity that I have received over the past few weeks and try to solidify them. I plan to figure out how to put them in my daily routine.
