How can today at work have been better than yesterday, a supposed day off? Your guess is as good as mine, but I think it had a lot to do with expectations. I took yesterday as a "comp day" following the STINT Briefing, and that, a day late because of a meeting I had to attend on Monday.
I had grandiose dreams of lying poolside yesterday. But then I, the extrovert, planned every meal with different friends, and since we had a lot to catch up on after a summer apart, each meal took a couple hours. And then the evening was...well...work. Don't get me wrong. I loved the time with friends. I needed it. But the day didn't go as I'd anticipated.
But you know what? Today was a great day at work. I sensed God's presence in what I and others were doing and have come into the school year with an attitude of hope. Plus I talked to several others who feel the same way. Rest is great, but work is quite fulfilling. I loved "work" today...precisely because it didn't feel like work.
