Well, the experts were right. You can’t dive straight into a sabbatical. You have to ease into it. And since I had worked 22 straight days, there was no way I could relax immediately into a different pace. I sat down into my chair to read at 3:00 p.m. and fell asleep right away.
So, Day One is about recovery. Soon I will be able to set aside the details swirling in my head, and a couple of good nights rest should do wonders.
Really, my body is reminding me why this sabbatical was such a good idea. If I want to hear from God, and I do, then I have to slow down, remove the distractions, and be rested so that I can be attentive. That may turn out to be the theme not only of Day One, but Week One.
