Mid July

 

I cannot believe we are in the middle of July already.  It has been a relaxing summer.  Still busy here and there, but more time to chill.  

I'm savoring these slower days and loving ever minute of it.  Waking up early and giving the start of the day to God; reading the Bible, journaling and praying.  My kids sleep in and once they wake up I feel refreshed and ready to tackle the day.  It's nice not having a daily routine but it won't be long before it's back to school and back to constant busyness.  I wish I could hang onto these slower summer days forever but I hope when the school year starts and I'm back to work I can find some quiet moments to focus on prayer and also just relaxing.  Life is so chaotic and my focus this summer has been to find peace and ignore the noise.  Being in the world but not of the world.  It's difficult but I'm finding the way.  

My daughter is currently at her first day of dance camp, this one today is specifically for competition.  She has hopes of getting a solo this year.  Tonight my son has his first playoff game so he's just relaxing until then.  Next week he has scout camp. 

I'm loving summer, y'all!
