At the beginning of my Sabbatical, I have struggled with figuring out how to balance my time. There is so much I want to accomplish. I have a road map: a time to rest, time for redemption, time for reflection, time for reward and repair, time for relationships, time for refocus. All of my expectations have a common denominator, time. I am acutely aware that the “Clock of Life” is only wound once. As a result, I strive to accomplish as much as possible with my allotted time. Time cannot be saved for another day. Therefore, I naturally resist the idea of slowing down. Since God has given me the gift of time, I prayed to God for some guidance. God wasted no time. I woke up the next morning to discover two dead fish floating in the pond, a bass with a bluegill stuck in it’s mouth. The bass, like myself, attempted to accomplish a lot. However, the bass bit off more than it could chew, or even swallow. The bass died along with it’s goal, the bluegill. I will probably never lower my expectations of what I want to accomplish. However, I need to maintain a healthy pace at which I accomplish my goals. I haven’t slowed down completely yet, but I have shifted into a lower gear. I am also trying to take smaller bites and eat slower!!
