The refreshing of a soul sometimes takes time. Knowing what refreshes it and doing what refreshes are two different things. Kimi and I are in that process. We are so thankful to be able to have this time to remove the harness and stop the plowing for awhile. The every day tasks for pastoring carries some burdens that can wear on you at times. Being freed up from those have been a great blessing, but then we have to be disciplined enough to lay down by the still waters. Saying no thank you to people, stilling yourself down to be refreshed is harder than you think when you are use to plowing. To quote Wayne Cordeiro "Reading the menu doesn't fill you up; eating the food does." We are off to eat some solitary pie.

Reading the menu doesn't fill you up; eating the food does.
