The Pace of Summer by Seth Passfield

After coming out of a very busy semester where it seemed like our pace was a dead sprint, I found myself tired and a little worn out. I’m happy to say that the summer pace has slowed down considerably! We are not at a walking pace or at a running pace, but rather a pace that is steady. So far I have found summer to be a great chance to rest and catch up on some work that I let slide during the last semester. In the internship we are required to read eight books a year. Last year I let that slide off because of other things. I did not do a good job at keeping up with my readings. This summer I have found it to be very relaxing to sit back and read for an afternoon. I’ve had my nose in several books. I find myself reading Union in Truth, a book about the restoration movement as well as The Shack and various CS Lewis books. This has been a great change in pace that I have embraced rather well. I have also spent some time this summer ‘hanging out’ with God. That is one perk to the solitude that summer offers. You have ample time to sit and talk with God as well as to listen to exactly what he is saying. I won’t address the fact that summer is half way over. I don’t want anyone to become depressed. As for the rest of the summer, I plan to use it has a chance to get ahead on work as well as catch up on rest. How are you using your summer break?
