With summer on our doorstep, many of us are gearing up for that much-needed vacation. But how can you help make sure it’s your best one ever? 

Today, we’re exploring eight practical steps to prepare for a restful, rewarding and rejuvenating break.  We’ll talk about how prayer, planning, and setting the right boundaries can transform your vacation experience. 

Join me as we dive into faith-centered strategies that will help you return from your vacation feeling refreshed and ready to take on your calling with renewed energy.

 

In this episode, John discusses: 

  • The essential elements for planning your best vacation ever

  • Why managing work and stress before vacation is crucial

  • How prayer and planning can enhance family vacations

  • Achieving a rejuvenating and financially sound vacation

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Before embarking on your dream vacation, ensure you’ve saved up, booked everything, and tied up loose ends at work and home. Proper preparation prevents stressful situations later on.

  • Recognize the importance of stepping away from the daily grind, even if it means overcoming initial exhaustion because rejuvenation is essential for sustained productivity and well-being.

  • Striking a balance between work and rest is crucial. Even Jesus recognized the necessity of slipping away to quiet places.

  • Implementing practical strategies like prayer, arranging support at work, planning for delays, and budgeting wisely can enhance your vacation experience and foster deeper connections with loved ones and allow for genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. 

 

“Your work can wait. Your rest cannot. Jesus is waiting. Your family and friends are too. And may this year be the year of your best vacation ever.”
