I'm so glad it's summer!
*
Tomorrow will be the first day that I have absolutely nothing planned to do in I can't remember how long. I'm ready for a break to commune with God and to love on my family.
I really love what God has called me to, I love speaking, writing, traveling and all that goes with it but y'all, I'm a little tired.
*
I'm excited for the next 2 months to hang out with Luke and talk about boy stuff. I'm excited to not have to rush my quiet time to finish a deadline. I'm excited to sit on the front porch with Dave and watch the cars go by. I'm excited to meet my friends for lunches and coffees.
*
I'm even excited about writing posts on my blog.
*
About 2 years ago the Lord led me to take the summer off. Completely off just to spend time with Him and my family. To study, to prepare for the upcoming speaking season, to refine my talks, make them better, work on me and hear what God wanted to say to me.
*
Last year was my first summer to do that and it was so amazing. I went thru some hard lessons and God taught me some really cool stuff. I don't know what He's got planned for me this summer but I'm sure He's got something up His sleeve.

What about you.
*
Do you need a break? Do you need to set some boundaries for yourself? Maybe say NO to some good stuff so you can concentrate on the better stuff?
*
I hope you'll be good to yourself and spend some time reflecting on what's going on in your crazy world, cause all our lives are pretty crazy, you know.
*
Maybe you just need to get a sitter (swap time with a friend) once a week so you can have some "me time".
*
Anyway, just reflecting tonight cause I'm really excited about the summer.
*
And the best part is Luke comes home from basketball camp tomorrow where he's been for the last 5 days and I really miss him. What a way to start my break.
*
Love you much and will see you next week!
