This summer, I have enjoyed my first sabbatical after 13 years of ministry. I am deeply thankful to my church for their love, support, and care for my family in giving me this precious opportunity to rest.

It has taken me some time to adjust.

Slamming on the brakes in the fast lane will almost certainly cause an accident. In a similar way, after 13 years of ministry, you cannot simply stop and expect your mind and heart to immediately become still.
