Slowing Down & Chicken Salad
This past weekend I was able to take some time to slow down. Some of the leaders for our high school ministry group spent Friday and Saturday together at a lake house in Michigan that was generously open to us from a family in our church. It was the perfect 24 hour get away.
Bonfires, worship, and good food. We got to spend time learning more about each other, recharging before starting a new ministry year, and taking our own time to spend with God.
With training camp still going on, and J working long days, I’m still working on keeping myself busy. Between getting home from work and J getting home, I have a wonderful to do list in my head. I’m lucky if half of it gets done. As long as I don’t spend the whole evening sitting on the couch, I guess I’ve been a little successful.Being so busy can be exhausting. And with the school year starting up again, I feel like I’m just going to get busier. HSM Sunday, women’s small group Wednesday, football chapel Friday, game day Saturday, and work 8-5 every weekday. And today, I finally decided to get a gym membership. When am I going to have time to just relax?
This weekend was a great reminder to me of how to take advantage of free time and to not try to fill it with being busy. It’s just as important to take some time to dig into the Word, take a walk, even take a nap.
