Slow + Sacred: Confessions of a Type A Person Learning to Slow Down
The Week of February 3rd
Monday, February 3rd
"Sean, you’re going to be organizing chaos for the rest of your life."
That's what my mentor told me a few years ago.
Gee, thanks, sir.
For context, I had been venting about how hectic life felt, explaining that I needed to get to the next season where things would slow down and I could finally breathe.
He laughed.
At the time, I wasn't sure whether I was encouraged or defeated.
But he was right. I was waiting for a day that was never going to come.
Life wasn't going to slow down.
This season is no exception. Between family, leading a church, developing a team, writing, and coaching. There is always something competing for my attention.
Before I started consistently practicing Sabbath last year, I used to sit around hoping for peace in the next season instead of learning how to find it in the current one.
Sabbath has taught me that peace isn't something I achieve. It's something I receive.
It's not a reward; it's a right.
So, this week, I'm slowing down, not because life is calm, but because I am.
