This last week I spent some quality time with my family in red river NM. It was a wonderful time. I was able to spend time with my kids and teach them about trout fishing. We went hiking and saw some amazing scenery. As I start my final week of my sabbatical I pray that what ever else god has for me will bless me and show me and my family what his grace truly means.

These last 28days have shown me a lot of about the person I am and the person I want to become. It’s hard to look at yourself  I mean really look at yourself and see your short comings. But by the Grace of God we have a chance to change things about our selves and become the person the our families deserve and who  the lord wants us to be. I am looking forward to going back to work and starting again with a fresh outlook and seeing what the lord has planned for me. I only wish that the people who have yet to take their sabbatical will have the pleasure of walking a semular walk and find out things about them selves.

I am dropping off my kids at camp this week it will be strange not having them here. I hope the best for them as they go on new adventures and make new friends while learning about God and the moral fiber of today though team work and patience.

I am starting my Third week of my sabbatical. The time I have had to spend with my family has been wonderful. I have been able to do things with my kids that’s I wouldn’t have been able to other wise. I have been to Habit for humanity and to see these people working on homes and the dedication it takes to achieve their goals is amazing. My personal time to sit and reflect has been more difficult than I thought. I find myself in and unfamiliar area that I don’t have a lot of practice in. But as I have started my bible study and my ” wild at heart” book it starting to get much easier. I pray that the remaining time I have have with my family will been a blessing to myself and to them we start our vacation this week so it will be nice to get away 😁
