Experiencing Summer 2013 – July 5

Experiencing Summer 2013 June 19-July 5

I can’t say enough what a wonderful summer it’s been so far for our family! The memories we have made are numerous and priceless. My last Experiencing Summer 2013 post was on June 18. I haven’t had as much time as I would like to share on my blog, simply because we’ve been busy living out our summer and spending time together. Today I’ll attempt to catch up on some of that. 🙂

Our vacation officially began on June 22. We traveled to the Mississippi River area and spent the day that Saturday at the Lazy River Fest with my brother and sister-in-law, Pat & Stacie. It was a beautiful day, filled with relaxation and many, many laughs!

The very next morning we headed out to Pensacola Beach for our vacation. I’ll make a separate post with plenty of fun pictures of our trip.

We arrived back home early Sunday morning.

July 1 I attended my nieces’ softball games…Angie, Megan & Sarah.

July 3 on a whim, I went shorter with my hair. Bill calls is my “summer ‘do 2.0.” I’m enjoying the new look… and the ease of it! Thanks, Tracy!!
Bill and I went to 4th Fest. Saw Beaker Brothers and 38 Special in concert. A perfect date night!

Songs like Caught Up in You, Back Where You Belong, Hold on Loosely, and Rockin Into The Night took me right back to my teenage years. 🙂  It was a fun night out with Bill!
Bill and I rode the tandem 30 miles yesterday. Our longest ride together so far. It as a beautiful, sunny, low-humidy day. Stopped at the campground where our friends Brian and Renae were camping. Returned home and a migraine hit. 🙁 Laid low the rest of the night and enjoyed the evening at brother Pat’s.
Looking forward to a weekend filled with fun things ahead!

Am I the only one?

Distraction doesn’t always show up loud and obvious.
Sometimes it’s subtle.
Convenient.
Even well-intentioned.

But here’s the truth:
if the enemy of our souls can't destroy us—he will do all he can to distract us.

Let’s return.
Refocus.
Reopen the Word.
God’s not mad at us—we’re just one “Jesus, I am back” away from real connection.

Distractions are just annoyances in life, right? They are that, but are so much more.🚨

We live in a world of distraction, so naturally, we will be enticed by the distractions of this world. Distractions aren't just aren't annoyances, however, but they are actually keeping us from living the abundant life God has for us. 🤦‍♀️

Living distracted affects everything we do and how we live, including our relationships, our peace, and our ability to hear God's voice clearly. They are causing us to miss priceless moments happening right in front of us every single day. 🙋‍♀️

When we are distracted, we almost become like the seed sown among thorns in Matthew 13:22, where distractions choke out the life of the Word in us. We become stagnant and ineffective in our faith and life. Here's what it says,
Funny how fast we can go from focus to full-on Googling the most random things, right?

Let this be your gentle reminder—you don’t have to chase every thought that pops into your head.

Some things can wait.
Some tabs don’t need to be opened.
And no, you don’t need to reorganize your junk drawer right now.

Let’s choose presence over distraction today. (But also… yes, penguins do have knees.)

Listen to episode 193 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast for more.

Feeling distracted today?

We live in a culture of distraction, so it's no wonder you and I battle distractions on a daily basis. Distractions aren't just annoyances, but they keep us from living the abundant lives Jesus came to give us.

In episode 193 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast, we continue our theme of the month of Spring Cleaning for the Soul as we address these distractions and how to overcome them. Listen in to be encouraged.

You can find the full episode wherever you listen to podcasts or @julielefebure. Comment PODCAST and I'll send it to you.

Stay encouraged, friend!
