Today was a normal Monday for me. I finished up on work that I should have gotten done last week, and contemplated what to do this week. As with most Mondays, this also involved me looking at the number of Paid Time Off days that I have in my "bank" and day-dreaming of when I could/should take the time off.
The bad news: I cannot bring myself to take time off. As I looked at my calendar for the months ahead, even though I don't have appointments written on them yet, I couldn't pick days to claim as a vacation.
The good news: I love my job too much to plan vacation days. Now, I know that this will wear off. Twenty years from now I will be longing for vacation days and wishing for time off. It doesn't help that I am used to years in the education system--where you are told when you get a vacation: summer break, spring break, etc.
So, how does this correlate to my Lent blog? I wish I felt this way about my relationship with God. I wish that I found it more difficult to take a vacation from God.
I hope that recognizing that fact will help me to solve it.
I hope that I can find a constant vacation in God's peace.
