Happy Summer

Summer is in full swing here at the Shroyer house! It's been a very weird, yet fulfilling time right now with COVID-19 still lurking its ugly head. I have the privilege to be off this summer, start back next month, so right now I'm really embracing this time being home with the boys and learning some new things about myself, too. Finding balance has been key! I've worked since I was 13 years old and I've never had a summer off, ever! I was really skeptical about it, but with prayer and guidance I'm really glad it has worked out this way for me. 

So far, it's been a productive time and we're getting things accomplished around the house. Last fall, we bought a gazebo type of thing to add a shadey space by the pool and it has worked out great. I love sitting under it listening to the giggles coming from the pool, all while staying out of the sun reading a book. I love the sun, but somedays it's just too much, so this new addition is awesome! We start the front porch enclosure in a few weeks, so that will be a great addition and I'm looking forward to that being complete, as well!

 
Life is really at a crazy point right now and I know we're not alone, but this whole pandemic has really opened my eyes to many things. I've stopped watching the news and have been spending more time with God! These days I have no fear, because my faith is growing stronger and stronger each day creating a "Faith over Fear" mindset within me! It feels amazing! I'm choosing to trust God and allow him to handle all the things that are out of my control, b/c of that I'm finding the joy during this crazy time. Something I heard this week was this....to stay spiritually strong, keep the world out of your life and stay full of God! It's kind of funny, b/c I've been doing just that and it felt good to know the Lord was providing me with confirmation, since I was wavering on a few things. His timing absolutely amazes me and since he's in control, I'm just over here enjoying our little oasis that he's provided for us here in our little town.....
