July 1 marks the start of a six month sabbatical. I'm thankful InterVarsity values this. I believe it is a way to encourage longevity in campus ministry. InterVarsity requires a well-considered plan and I had to have my application for sabbatical approved by my supervisor and a VP. I believe I have a good plan in place. And I believe God led me in the planning. One of the elements of my plan is pilgrimage.
Pilgrimage as I intend it is revisiting the places that have been significant in my ministry years. I will be spending time at the Bible camp where I served as a college student in the mid-90s and the places I have lived in my 26 years with InterVarsity. I'm going to be remembering with reverence the ways God was at work in my family, my ministry, and my soul. The remembering will include reading old journals and blog posts, so it makes sense to me to document the process of remembering with new posts. My goal is a weekly post of at least a paragraph or two. See you in July.
