Keeping Rhythms

Our first day in Inverness was a Sunday and we had been gone a week.  I don't know what its like for everyone else, but for me, when I go on vacation, a lot of my disciplines and structures that I hold to so well go out the window.  Jenny and I really have a desire to keep rhythms where possible and establish new ones during this time away.

This whole sabbatical has been prefaced on resting-to-work.  With that in mind, we felt that we also needed some time to not just go go go (which vacations can feel like at times). For us it was going to be acceptable to just to read and sit in our flat and journal (or blog) and let our minds rejuvenate. 

Part of our rhythm was also maintaining a worship schedule for church.  We were blessed to find a really neat little church in Inverness - Inverness Christian Fellowship.  It was such a great time to worship with other Christians from a different part of the globe. They gave us a lot of love and even prayed for us in the church service.  These were certainly people of peace and it was really encouraging for us to spend time celebrating Jesus and God. 

The Sunday was a great set up for our time and travel the rest of the week.
