Summer Growth

Summer has kicked off in full speed. My family and I have began a summer incentive campaign. I call it The Great Summer Leap. Each of us have designated specific areas in our lives that we are working to make advancement in. We are also all reading Proverbs this summer for a refresher in wisdom. Instead of letting the summer months flit away without productivity, our aim is forward movement.

This came about as Mark and I developed a workout schedule for Samuel's soccer training goals. Establishing goals for him compelled us to join in the challenge and seek more growth ourselves, although we have certainly been on the accelerated track these last five years when it comes to change and growth.

Some of the areas that I have chosen to advance in are; specific physical health, writing, and reading goals, decorating our office, increasing my workshop schedule, going through Dave Ramsey videos, working to establish a website for our Haitian friend's ministry, preparing to host a home group through our church and more.

Not only do we plan to grow by leaps this summer like adolescents do, we also plan to have loads of fun. I have discovered that fun is an extremely necessary ingredient for my fire/wind personality, so I take the job of scheduling gleeful activities, seriously. If I find myself becoming complacent and somber, I can usually trace it back to the lack of fun and social interaction in my life. Some of us were just made to boogie. How will you grow this summer?
