it's spring and starting to feel like summer! hallelujah. there is something that just comes alive in me when the temperature warms up, the sun shines, and the leaves begin to green. i am an outside girl through and through.
i started thinking earlier this week about how fast summer seems to slip by. it's almost like we rejoice when the temperature starts to warm up and then all of a sudden we trade our bare feet and iced coffee for scarves and spiced lattes. just thinking about it gets me a little overwhelmed because i want to make sure i squeeze out every little goodness summer has to offer.
so, i decided that i'm going to focus on two little phrases during these summer months to ease the anxiety of it slipping by too quickly and to help keep me intentional about what really matters.
ready for it? (drumroll....)
keep it simple.
and
be fearless.
i love the simple things. great coffee in the morning, getting dirty in the garden, a family walk to the park, fresh sheets on our bed. some times i don't take the time to relax and realize the amazing goodness that god has already blessed me with. i really want to stop and savor god's blessings as much as possible this summer.
and, this being fearless thing has me so excited. being vulnerable and fearless has been on my mind for quite a few months. i love adventure and community, but i don't always take the time to actually seek it out and foster it. i tend to just daydream about my crazy ideas without actually taking a step forward with anything. so, i'm choosing to be a little more fearless this summer. when my brain says "no" or is hesitant about something fun ... i'm going to give it a whirl instead!
it will be fun to document a few of my thoughts on here throughout the summer months. is there anything that you're focusing on this summer?
