Summer Is Here, Time For A Break

Good morning :)

Wow what a great weekend! Spent time with the fam enjoying a local festival, celebrated the wedding of a dear friend, and honored my husband for Father's Day. It was relaxing, refreshing and a great blessing. After hearing yesterday's sermon, I have a few things stirring.

Perhaps it is the nice weather, or the extra time with my family, or the quality time with my friends, but I have been sensing another pull to step away from social media. When I took a break earlier this year, I felt so much peace and came away so rejuvenated. I can't say I have lost that peace or that I feel wore down, I just sense another break will be beneficial for the mind renewal study I am currently in.

Speaking of the study, it is going well. I don't take as much time as I would like to dig in, but for good reason. Most every spare minute I have is with my kiddos, or with my hubby. However, I strongly sense I might be able to better utilize my time if I didn't get so caught up in "catching up", sometimes. I would like to challenge myself to meditate on the Scripture God needs to share with me during this time, rather than hop on social media.

Another reason I sense the break may be beneficial, is to help keep me focused on where God needs me to be. After yesterday's message, I felt the conviction I need to spend more time in prayer, trusting God to lead and guide me day by day. There are a few things in my life and character I sense God needs to address, and I feel He is asking for my whole attention to help address them.

Eating clean, working out, sleeping well and looking to God, all align with renewing my mind, which leads to renewing my body, which leads to me being the wife and momma God needs me to be - and I want to be. It's time for me to willingly go deeper with God, now.

Be well.
