I spent last week on vacation. It had been eight months since I took a Sunday off from preaching.

I was exhausted. It has been a long run, with numerous significant events shaping the Church I lead and the future of our ministry.

Sometimes, you need to stop what you are doing and walk away. I needed a full eight days to clear my mind and rest from doing ministry.

For the people who are deeply involved in ministry, an occasional break is needed to reset their souls for the future. I was glad to have it this past week.

If you are feeling burnt out, don’t give up. Give yourself a chance to reset once in a while.
