Crazy Life

Life is full of unexpected twist and turns. We navigate them the best we can. Our faith helps by letting us have hope. Hope to see our way through the many challenges of life. In the middle of all the chaos we have to take time to reflect, refocus and refuel. The crzier your life is the more time you need. I have not always realized that during my ministry, marriage and parenting. It is healthy to get away.Get away from all three of those from time to time. I use to think pastors weren't doing their job very well because they are always on vacation. After 10 years in the ministry now I understand! One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from the National Church Plant Director. He told me to take two weeks vacation in a row....be gone as long as you could. Even up to 18 or 19 days. My first thought was I can't do that....he said that is exactly the problem....you need to be away long enough to reflect, refocus and refuel!!!!  Your church will love you for it!!! I'm thankful that I listened to him!!!
