I don’t know about you, but I’ve found summer has been a hectic time! Every year I tell myself, “This year will be different-I’ll be more intentional about slowing down.” Then, I fill my schedule with one thing after another leaving very little time to relax.

But the good news is summer is not yet over. If you are like me, I encourage you to set aside time in the next few weeks. Sit outside. Take in a sunset, or if you are more of a morning person-a sunrise. God rested, so what makes us think we are so different?

So if you take in a sunrise or sunset this week, find me and tell me about it. You experienced the beautiful creation of God, all because you decided to slow down!
