After 20 years of Ministry, I find myself getting weary. I have blogged about that before.
Now I am taking steps toward renewal for me. In 2011, I plan to reclaim a REGULAR DAY OFF! This is a practice that I let slide when I was needing to provide morning and evening transportation to school for our girls, and just never picked it back up. But I am making a covenant with myself to religiously take a day off each week. I have decided that the day will be Fridays.
One thing that pastors never get is the chance to have a weekend... so, when I can, I will also take Saturdays too. But when we have a congregational or district event on Saturday, I will be there.
One other thing I am doing again this year to help with renewal... is I am taking 3 days in Ocean City. I did this two years ago and found it totally refreshing. The cost of hotel's during this off season is reasonable and the change of scenery is helpful. So in a week or so, I plan to go to OC to plan sermons for 2011 and do some reading.
Renewal doesn't happen if we don't take steps toward finding it. What about you?
