Making the most of the season.



Can you believe that Summer is nearly over? 
There are just a little over 2 weeks and it will be September. 
I mean, I am totally excited about everything the Fall will bring......
My little sis is getting married so we are headed to England for 10 days in September for 
amazing adventures, seeing old friends and witnessing a commitment to each other before the Lord.
The Influence conference is fast approaching as the days bring Fall closer.
And I am super stoked by that!

Not to mention the finding of a new home for the hubby and I as we transition out of our temporarily
location into a more permanent home closer to where he works.


So as the summer is beginning to fade, I am trying to make the most of every moment.
Enjoying every season.
I might try and make that my plan for this year.
And it helps to start with the season that is my favorite.

So in trying to make the most of this season.....
I went blueberry picking again this week.
With some other friends who I thought would enjoy picking the fresh fruit off the leaves of the bushes.
And picked another 31 lbs of blueberries. 
(I only came home with 7lbs this time myself)
(That's a combined total of 56lbs of blueberries in 2 weeks for those who love numbers)


Summer things I am thankful for:

Blueberries growing on bushes for us to go and pick.
Summer sandals and flip flops.
Sunscreen and bug spray.
Hubby's family visiting from overseas for the summer.
Encouraging friendships.
Meeting up with blogging friends.
Being able to spend a lot of time outdoors.
Flip flop tan lines.
The sound of crickets sending me to sleep at night.
Painted toes poking through sandals.
Amazing natural light for photography.
She reads Truth reading plans.
Pure by Rebecca st James.
Hot weather bringing the ability to wear sundresses and tank tops.

The Joy Dare: One Thousand Gifts. Ann Voskamp.


If you know me even a little bit, you will know that 
I Love books.

One of the most powerful books I have read recently is
 'One Thousand Gifts' by Ann Voskamp.


I'm sure I have mentioned it before but I keep sharing, because this book keeps impacting me and the way I see life.
My eyes have been opened to the way the world is a series of gifts from the Lord.
A way to see life in its entirety.
A secret to praying without ceasing.

You may have noticed my new banner at the bottom, the Joy Dare.
I have decided to take part in the February Joy Dare....
I am hoping to continue this habit and count 1000 gifts this year in 2012.
Along with thousands of others.

I would encourage you to check it out and join us!
 Here's to enjoying every moment.

Much Love,
L

P.S. I am totally considered doing a linkup for one of my series on here. What do you guys think? Which would you enjoy? The {On My heart} series? Or 'Two Hearts In Love'?
