Officially Summer

Summer vacation!

 Although I'm not sure I would classify it as a vacation since the enormous to do list has already begun, I'll take it anyway. I'm super excited about these next few months. I'm excited to get caught up on housework, which for the past few months has included only the absolute necessary things, due to my grandpa and mom's health needs. This may seem odd, but I really don't mind to do it when I have time. I'm excited to have more time to cook for my family, which means healthier, fresher food for all of us. I'm excited about making time to walk, I've sure missed it. I'm excited about being able to spend more time with my son, even if it means running him to this camp and that, I'm lucky to be able to do that. (And I sure will miss him when he is gone a couple weeks this summer!) I'm excited about all the possibilities God has shown me lately and watching them (prayerfully) come into fruition. I'm excited for the opportunities I will get to serve others in the community through picnics in the park, back to school events and more. I'm excited to help with VBS, even if it's not as much as I wish it could be. I excited about time spent with family and friends, just enjoying one another's company. But the thing I probably enjoy most about summer vacation is this:

Having time to just sit on the porch, enjoy the peacefulness of the garden, watch it grow and getting to know my friend... Jesus. This is truly the quietest place, if you get here early enough, for getting in the Word and prayer around my house. And during the summer months it's warm enough to enjoy it.
