It all started last Sunday morning - July 20th. I was laying in bed thinking, I just came back from vacation and I need to go again. And, how am I going to manage going to Australia ? Africa ? There are just so many things going on and there is so much I'm feeling I need to do. Hmmm....I should just take a one year sabbatical and get everything done. And, I left it at that.
God didn't leave it at that. I hooked up to chat with my mentor after church - we had a bit to catch up on. In and amongst our conversation I brought this sabbatical thing up. And, bang !! Through our conversation I realized that it was the exact thing I needed. And, on so many levels. I couldn't wait - I got to work on Monday, darn my boss is off. Tuesday, boy was I nervous....but, it'd drive me insane if I didn't do it right away. Talked to my boss - he was good with it ! Wooohoooo !! It means I can take a year off and still have a job when I return ! AND - I can keep all my benefits if I decide to pay the premiums myself! Yes please ! I'm going to Africa - what better time to be covered in case something goes wrong.
Two days ago, I had a lovely chat with my living in Australia friend. It looks like I'll be down under for two months. TWO WHOLE MONTHS !! We're going on a two week cruise. It's going to be an awesome, once in a lifetime crazy good time. And, assuming all goes well - I'm going to be experiencing an Australian Christmas ! How cool is that ?!
That's a lot to have hapenned in one week. And, a lot to have happened since returning from Egypt. I get the feeling this is going to be an awesome, pivotal year in my life - I can't wait !!
Sabbatical starts on Aug 25. 4 weeks left....
