Sabbatical Checkpoint – Life is Bigger

I love the quote ”the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”  This truth perfectly illustrates my journey. It has been approximately 3 months since I started my sabbatical  journey and I am still so excited and thankful to God for the opportunity.  One thing for sure is that my sabbatical is definitely teaching me to trust Him more. I mean it is one thing to have a steady paycheck being deposited every two weeks. But to not have that, is a totally different animal.  Talk about a change of habits…I now have to check accounts, transfer money, and keep an eagle eye watch over everything I spend.  But, it is all good!

My sabbatical is also teaching me that life is so much bigger than what goes on in my world.  It is so easy to get caught up in a daily routine that we hardly ever take time to really live and experience life. For me, traveling, being active at church, trying new things, and connecting with others challenges me to step out of my small world and become more engaged with life.  So, my journey continues…
