Vacation

Merriam-Webster defines vacation as a period spent away from home or business in travel or recreation. I define it as a time to get away from my normal daily grind. It’s time to do something different. A time to allow our brains and bodies to relax and be stress-free. The problem with this is that most of us plan vacations just as busy if not more than our normal days. Whether you plan a serene beach getaway or head on an action-packed adventure, the one thing that should remain consistent is your daily dates with the Divine. Don’t stop having your dates just because you won’t be at your special spot. You may have to be a bit creative, and your dates may look a little different, but they are still just as powerful, and I would dare to say even more necessary.

You are in a new environment that is filled with new people and often new rules and/or laws. A little grace, favor, and divine direction is needed in those situations. Delayed fights, canceled dinner reservations, lost toys, and language barriers are all things that can send your long-awaited vacation into chaos if not met with the right perspective. A perspective that can only be gained by spending time with the One who created time. Your date is omnipresent so He can meet you wherever you roam. Happy travels!
