Summer...

Was reading through some blogs, and realized I hadn't updated mine in a while, so here goes... It's finally summer!!! Even though the parameters and stresses of my job and life really haven't changed at all, there's something about summer that feels slower...lazier... I'm still working on ME, which is so not as easy as it sounds; I still work almost full-time; I'm still parenting two amazing very active boys; I'm still married to my best friend and being all that I can for him; I'm still running a new house and painting and yard work and yes, unpacking; I'm getting ready to have friends visit and to take our own vacation... But there's something about these summer months that just feel more relaxed. I thank God for the challenges of summer, especially in ministry. I'm excited to see how He moves through the leaders and kids I work with, as well as how He's working in my own children's lives... I'm excited that God has provided opportunities to build new relationships and rekindle some old ones. I just love summer! Hope you are enjoying summer, too!
