I didn't expect this at all. I thought I would be dying to come home and get back to work. Instead, my 10 day California vacation was just what I needed to re-energize and feel rested once again. And maybe, I am too well rested. It has been hard to get back to work, to check e-mails, to write newsletters, and to prepare for the upcoming Global Partnership to Bangladesh.
So I have been slowly getting myself back into work mode. Maybe what I was doing before wasn't healthy anyway. I have a tendency to overwork and not actually take time off or sabbath well. This slow reintegration may be good for me, to set healthy boundaries of when I should be doing work and when I should be off.
As the day has gone on, I am getting into the groove again. Most of my work has been administrative. It will be Monday before I see any students again. I know that once I see them, the excitement and passion for ministry will come back.
In the meantime, I will that God for a wonderful time with relatives and a restful vacation, that left me the most rested I have ever been since graduating from university.
