Good morning everyone. Grace and peace be with you.
Today is my last day for a couple of weeks of being the acting supervisor. Per my contract, I can only be in the higher-level job for a certain amount of time, or I lose my assigned job. Not as in fired, but I could be sent wherever they need me instead of my home office. So I will step back down for a couple of weeks and enjoy not being responsible for anything. That also means that I get my Saturdays off again. I kind of miss those.
I told my husband, when I was no longer needed in this supervisor job, that first weekend we would run away. So, keeping my word, I verified that we did not commit to any extras this weekend, and we are disappearing. As soon as I clock out, we will be headed to the Creation Museum. I went there with our youth shortly after it opened. It was phenomenal then. They have added so much, I am not sure two old people will be able to see it all. But we are going to give it a hearty shot. We will only have one day to see as much as we can, since they are not open on Sunday. That will be okay though. We will get up Saturday fresh and frisky. Come back to the hotel old and worn out. Get up on Sunday half fresh and frisky and half old and worn out. Then drive home in a manner where we are not in a hurry. It will be a great runaway.
Our last six months have been a whirlwind. Changes in work. Issues with his dad. The funeral. A new boss. Doctors. Kids. The ATV accident. A very nice variety shop of activities that did not allow for a lot of room for a runaway…just the two of us.
On another positive note, yesterday was a good writing day. I am almost to the halfway (25K) point for the requirement for the two challenges. (Yes, I am using the same book for both challenges. My brain is not braining enough to do two 50k-word books.) I know I will meet the 90-day challenge with ease, but I might even have this rough draft done in the thirty days. If that is the case, then I will have 60 days to do the edits and get the beta readers involved. With the aspects of being published by the first of the year. (Spoiler…it is the fourth book in the Chasm series…just fyi)
When God made the world. The universe. I would think that it is safe to say that he had a lot on his plate. He focused on one area at time and ensured that it was good. Then, on the seventh day, he sat back and looked at what he had created, and said, ‘This is good, now I am going to take a nap.’ (ha-ha)
If He can see that after only six days, he needed a break, why do we think that we can go endlessly without one? That is an easy answer, the enemy. In his desire to be like God, he convinces us that he has all the answers and that if we add just one more project, one more book, one more idea, one more…pick a topic. The enemy has convinced us that if we are not constantly running, working, or busy on something, then we are lazy. That just is not the case. We were not meant to run endlessly. However, in our endeavors to be perfect, we try to fix the world all at once without regard to ourselves. Because the enemy has twisted the Word to make it sound like we are unimportant. That all of our time is to be busy in service. The truth is this, we cannot serve if we are exhausted. If we wear ourselves down to the point we cannot get out of bed or think straight, that is another avenue for the enemy to come in and work his evil.
God took a day off. If God took a day off, then why wouldn’t you want to do the same?
Today is Friday. Typically, the last day of the work week. Take tomorrow to do a few chores around the house (laundry, sweep, trash, etc.), then rest. Take Sunday to visit Him in His house and get refilled in the spirit. My refilling will be on Saturday at the Museum of His Creation.
Be blessed today my friends.
