Today we have our first coaching appointment. In the past couple of years, I started becoming familiar with life coaching. We know some people who are life coaches and have friends that have a life coach that walks with them. In the past couple of months, I’ve come to understand it even more. A coach is not a counselor who tells you what to do, what to change, or gives advice, but rather someone who listens, asks a lot of questions, and helps you determine and achieve personal goals.
We will specifically be doing sabbatical coaching. Although I don’t know everything that entails, I believe some of it will center around helping us to disengage from the ministry for this season and learn to rest. Honestly, I haven’t quite figured out if true rest is possible when your kids are young, or if I just don’t know how to rest. I’m not necessarily talking about sleep but about true rest for your spirit, soul, and body. I’m also not sure what personal goals I have (other than learning to rest) but I’m looking forward to letting God write the script…
