Sometimes, we need to take a break. A break from work, life, or whatever fills your days with craziness. For me to do this, I need to spend time with God alone. I need to leave the house and go to the park, coffee shop, or simply take a drive. But the most important part is making sure that I am spending it with our Lord and Saviour. I may take extra time reading my Bible or pray so that my mind is clear of all the distractions that fill it up. I have even asked for time off from work, simply so I can refocus and recoup from life.

Now, I know that a lot of people think it is crazy that I would actually take sick leave for a break. But I have learned over the years, that sickness isn’t always a physical thing. It can also be a spiritual or mental thing, which also needs time to recover. It is ok to take a break sometimes. We all need it at one time or another.
