Tomorrow I am getting to do something that I have to do every few months to stay sane! I’m taking a dream day.

Now the name is a little misleading, because I’m not going to sit around and daydream all day. It’s a refueling, planning, preparation day (with some dreaming involved).

Each of these days looks different. In the past I have taken dream days at a coffee shop and stayed there for 7-8 hours just writing things in a book or typing on my laptop. Another was at a camp up in the mountains. You get the idea.

Tomorrow’s version will take place between here and Asheville, NC (where I will be speaking on Saturday). It is my plan to map out the rest of the 2010 events and series calendar, series development for the next few months, some staff and volunteer development issues, and spend some quality time talking and listening to the Lord.

It serves as a Sabbath of sorts for me, and allows me to push from reactive leadership and ministry to proactive.

How do you make that move from reactive to proactive?
