From graduation emotions and advice for senior mamas, to small-town festivals (hello, West TN Strawberry Festival \ud83c\udf53) and a stop at San Antonio Taco Company, we cover the fun and meaningful moments that make up everyday life. We also discuss why childlike play can be healing for our nervous systems, how our desire to control often comes from fear, and why trusting God with the next season brings peace. We share summer reading recommendations, spiritual lessons from transitions, and the reminder that joy is sacred because of Christ. No matter your circumstances, real joy is available through the Holy Spirit. Summer reading list: A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer The Correspondent by Virginia Evans Over Yonder by Sean Dietrich aka "Sean of the South" My Friends by Frederick Bachman  May Memory Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1 \u201cFor everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."
