Deborah, thank you! Gosh. I've been trying to linger in beautiful August, and it feels like it's zipping by, still. Have you been able to do much lingering?
I did. We went to Florida the first week of August. We took my brother in law who hasn’t been to the beach in 15 years. It was a wonderful trip. The water was calm and warm and I had the afternoons to myself. My husband said the beach and mountains is where you feel the presence of God because that is where you realize how small you are. Then he added probably in outer space too. So still trying to pretend I am on the beach…..
My first read of your work.. lovely! I hope you encounter awe & wonder this month as well as God's kindness & gentleness as you lean into this new chapter of seminary. Boundaries are good, margin is good. We'll be here when you have more words to share. Cheering you on! 🤍
Rosa, I'm so glad to be able to connect with you here on Substack in even deeper ways than IG can offer. Thanks for coming over to read the whole thing. I'm SO glad it resonated. I pray August still has some delightful wonderful things in store for you!
Love all this. Yes stay in Summer while. Linger in beautiful August. I feel your wonder. So excited for you in Seminary.

Kathryn, I'm so glad that you are here. Thank you for your incredibly kind and lovely comment. I appreciate your encouragement more than I can say.
What a beautiful read. It flowed like a summer siesta by the riverside...
I can't wait for your first novel.
That might be the most poetic comment I've read! 💛 thanks, my friend!
Thank you for this. Heard preview on Instagram, but the last paragraph was my absolute favorite!!
