Welcome to my sabbatical journey. This will be a site where you can check in on what is going on during this experience as well as allow you to comment or ask questions. I am at an odd point in thinking about it all. There is some genuine excitement within me for this, but there is also some reservation. 7 weeks seems like an eternity to be away from your church. It seems like a long time to separate yourself from a life you have none as consistent for so long. But I am also excited to see what God may reveal to me. What my times alone with him will be like in this kind of a setting? How will this impact my leadership, my teaching,...me as whole person? What will be the impact on my church? There are so many unknowns, but I am ready to trust God through the experience and grow.
In the next few weeks I will begin to give you some insight into the shape and plan of my sabbatical this summer. See ya then!
