This.
Summer.
Has.
Flown.
By.
And that, above all else, is an answer to prayer. This isn't a new topic on my blog, about how summer and I don't get along and how much I was dreading it... but now we are just a couple of days away from August and all I can do is thank God.
Thankful for the incredible summer camp teachers he provided Royal Stage with, which prevented camp from being a stressful mess - both sites ran beautifully!
Thankful for swim dates with my kids, and Frank's job that provides daily pool access.
Thankful for summer nights with church family - movies at Ginger's house, long talks with Ashley, the state fair with Elizabeth, endless chats with Jen, soaking up Michael's wisdom, play dates with beautiful women and their precious kids, meals together, game nights, getting closer to so many more people at church - it seems now as if it has always felt like home.
Thankful for lasting friendships from Sam's kindergarten - amazing women who have entered my life and the wonderful little friendships he's maintained this summer.
Thankful for generous supporters of my ministry who didn't forget us over the lazy summer months.
Thankful for the discovery of sushi burritos and the best frozen yogurt on the planet.
Thankful for pedicures and Netflix.
Thankful for my amazing, loving, supportive husband that encourages, provides, protects and embraces our little family.
Thankful for my two bright, beautiful babies who have grown so big and are so much fun.
Thankful for the amazing health and stability of Royal Stage. Our amazing time in Tahoe, our touring performances, our summer collaborative, irreplaceable teachers, incredible prayer partners....
Thankful for how I've learned I feel better in the sunshine, how fun barbecues are, how much I love dusk with my bible in a hammock, how a glass of ice cold lemonade can remedy an awful lot.
Thankful for my Jesus, and how I haven't completely healed, but healing has definitely begun.
