I have spent a lot of time anticipating this Sabbatical opportunity. I tend to be a fairly organized person so I have charted out my days and my month to include intentional time for prayer, devotion to my marriage, and sacrifice for all the people who may benefit from my service project. It always seems to amaze me that just when I think I have the perfect plan and it’s all in my control God steps in and returns my focus to Him. It is as if He is telling me to relax and enjoy the ride. I am excited to see what He unveils during this time. I am grateful for a company who believes in giving back to its employees and who ultimately sees the real value in a relationship with Christ. I am also thankful for my wife who has supported me on this spiritual journey and for my parents who laid the foundation for me and showed me how God can be a part of your everyday life.
