Day 2 of Sabbatical.

I forget between sabbaticals what the first days are like. I am not as disciplined as I should be about resting so when I come to vacations (which I seldom take) and sabbaticals (which I take every two years), the first day or so my body just collapses.

This year I have built in a pretty aggressive prayer schedule to the sabbatical. I was at prayer by 6 A.M. yesterday. I had gotten up at 3:30 A.M.

By 10 A.M. I was drawing in weariness

So I went to bed until 1:30 P.M.

I dragged myself out of bed for the afternoon gardening and animal chores.

I barely made it through the chores. I had to take breaks between each dog walk and the chicken coops.

My plan was to go to prayer at TWR House of prayer for three hours. The prayer topics were: Braking down strongholds; prayer for the church; Prayer for TWR House of prayer. I knew by 3 P.M. that was not happening.

I had a light supper and I was in bed by 7 P.M. again. I slept until 3:15 A.M. without stirring.

I prayed in the dawn. I am feeling better today, and that is good. It might be sabbatical, but I have some very important places to be tonight and tomorrow.
