Vacation is Over Truths
Ok, so if you follow me on twitter (@scwalters), you know I was on vacation last week. After three consecutive blog posts the week before, I was off to the beach. Man, I needed that week. It was the longest vacation Rebekah and I have taken since we got back from our honeymoon 7 years ago (BTW, it was our anniversary last week which was the motivation for the vacation). We spent Monday-Thursday sitting on the beach just reading books and watching (more coming this week on the books I read). We went on some nature walks Wednesday and spent Friday-Sunday seeing some of her family. Yesterday, I helped my Pop with his deck expansion project and we had dinner with my folks. Good vacation.
Well, it was a little tricky getting back to it today. I haven’t set an alarm since May 22. It was very annoying to hear that this morning. I haven’t had to get up, get ready, and head off that quickly in a week. My list of tasks today is pretty large, and the email in my inbox was overflowing! So, today has been an adjustment.
However, I realized something today. I really love what I do. Most of you know that Connection Church will be closing to join with Suwanee First UMC in late June. I have tons of meetings to set-up and a ton of logistical stuff to do. I have Sunday’s message to write and a new July series to think of (the one I had planned for Connection probably won’t work with the move). But, all of this work is about spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and helping people realize the joy of a life and relationship with Him. So, I love getting to do that. The truth is, its a lot easier to come back from a vacation when you are coming back to something you love. Now, if my job was to pick the lint from between people’s toes, my feelings might be different…
