My first week of sabbatical was not what I had originally planned on. As some of you may know a lot has been going in Parkway. Let’s just say it has been crazy busy. However I did not realize how much I was going and going and going… until I stood still.
The first few days I was worried the whole time that something was going to go wrong at work and I would not be there to fix it. So, I have to admit that relaxing was not easy for me to accomplish. I just had to put my faith in God that everything would work itself out.
The rest of the week, I like to “call catch up on everything that I have been putting aside” week. There were doctor visits, bug spraying, getting Rylee a 8th grade graduation dress, dance recital, volleyball…the list goes on. It has been a great comfort that I have been able to focus and spend real quality time with my family. This is one area that was a main focus for my sabbatical and that has been great.
This week we have begun our service project with Global Samaritan. More to come next time…
