I am learning that there are some days when communing with God looks like a few extra hours of sleep and taking my time with my journal and a cup of tea. And this on a Sunday morning.
Since burning out, I've explored the idea of Sabbath more seriously. What does Sabbath look like for me? What gives me rest and restores my soul? After a week full of activity, people, prayer, service and communion with others, my need for time alone was greater than my need for being at church. And so I gave myself permission to stay home with the Lord.
There was a time when this would have been inconceivable.
I am learning to be kinder to myself.
