My family & I are on vacation right now. It's so great to be away from the normal routine. And yet one of my great challenges in life is to "be" on vacation. I struggle to really be here. I'm so used to allowing my work to be the center of my world that it shocks my system when I'm here. I intetionally left my computer at work and I'm not checking email all week. Actually I'd say email is my biggest enemy. I check it way too often and I allow it to distract me. I really need to improve here. I think it will help my focus and my efficiency.
One of the things I'm praying will happen during this week is the chance for me to fully disengage from work and fully engage with my God and my family. I need help with this. I know this is a wise decision. I know I'm a "nice to have" at work and a "must have" at home, but I fight the same battle every man fights - the search for significance. It's so easy to get caught up in the mission at work and engage in it to a degree that brings me out of balance. I don't want to lose this battle.
I pray that this time away will help me re-focus on the things that matter most in my life. God, I'm asking for your grace here. Please help me see life the way You see it and value most what You value most. Thank You for m amazing wife and boys!
