Summers are a season that usually have a bit of a different pace.

To make the most of our summers this year, I'm offering a few ideas to plan out a purposeful three months.

I'll share my number one idea with a few insights that I've already gathered after just two days.

This is the Sheproes' faithful summer special.

Music This is the Sheprews Faithful Summer Special. Welcome to the Sheproos Faithful podcast, episode number 119, truth and encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hello, everyone, and thank you so much for listening to the Sheproos Fateful Podcast. My name is Lauren, and summer is my favorite season. And although we've had a

very odd winter and spring here in Colorado, I mean, it snowed in late May. I think it snowed May 20th.

And still, we're like trying to heat up here.

We're getting into the 70s, sometimes touch in the 80s. I'm ready. I'm ready. Today I totally had on shorts.

I had a long sleeve shirt on. But then I had a puffy vest on because it's summer in my heart, but still need in the layers. But today, I wanted to do a little summer special. I've never done one,

but because it's my favorite season. And also, I think that because of the change of pace,

we can kind of get off our routine and our schedule. And when that happens for me, I've said this before,

but the first two things to go are like, hi, Jean, you know, like, oh, I'll shower the next day,

you know, or in our, in Bible reading where it just totally falls off the bandwagon, because

we are just kind of in a different routine. And if you have kids, maybe they're home from school

or you're like us, we homeschool. And it's just, it's just more, more time with the children.

And so how can we develop a purposeful summer where we can go in with a plan and just

accomplish something to make this meaningful as we go

through the next few months.

And I want to give a shout out to all my Southern Hemisphere listeners.

You can still participate, even if it's cold where you live in June, July, and August,
