God and Vacation
This last week Carie and I went on vacation. Vacation can either be a time when my relationship with God is strengthened or it is softened. This depends on whether I decide that life is all about eating a lot and watching movies or whether I can maintain some sort of discipline in my life that helps me to focus on the person He wants me to be while at the same time resting. I’ve come to prefer to view vacation as more about rest than having fun, though the two don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
I think I’d give myself a B- in terms of my relationship with God over vacation. In between GI Joe, Chick Fil-A, and the beach (in the case of the beach, there was some during too), I did have some quality time with Him. I’m not sure what God would give me in terms of a grade, but I hope I’d pass. This relationship is the most important one in my life, and I work really hard at it, but sometimes vacation becomes more about me then Him.
