Written while on Sabbatical:
I'm reading a book called Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero. It's rocking my world. Below is a paragraph from the book that is really speaking to me...
"We are not called by God to die to the 'good' parts of who we are. God never asked us to die to the healthy desires and pleasures of life--- to friendships, joy, art, music, beauty, recreation, laughter and nature. God plants desires in our hearts so we will nurture and water them. Often these desires and passions are invitations from God, gifts from Him. Yet somehow we feel guilty unwrapping those presents."
I feel like this Sabbatical is an invitation from God... to simply ENJOY Him and the "presents" He wants to give me through the beauty of nature, friendships and travel.
