It’s week 3 of the Drinkwine “staycation” and I’d like to say that the house is all finished and completed, but alas, it is not so. I can say that I’ve been workin on the house relentlessly and many things have been done, however. Basically, the kitchen still has a cardboard floor, no light over the dining area, lack of new paint on the walls, and damaged cabinets and countertop. The living room ceiling still needs finishing, as well as a variety of small other tasks. We’ll see how it all works out in the end, but right now, I’m just glad to get something done.
What this has done, however, is given Sarah and I some much needed time together that we were not getting before the time off. It’s really nice to come home without any worlds falling apart or major crises being averted and just “be” with your wife, especially during this stage of our marriage. I truly love her, and she deserves every spare moment I have.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to what God is going to continue to do in our lives here and at the church. There’s that unmistakable “itch” that you get when you’re in the ministry. No matter how much we need this time together, ministry is what drives me day-to-day, and to be at home, separated from your calling, is not an easy thing, even when it means getting things done that need to be done to begin with.
That said, I can’t wait to get back to BCC and see all you guys! It’s gonna be awesome to see what God will do in our ministry when Sarah and I return, and to see what God has been doing while we’ve been gone. See you soon!
