Have you found yourself smack dab in the middle of summer wondering how it could be half over while you’re still waiting for it to start? Our plans and dreams of what we anticipated most likely look considerably different. Now, what or how will you embrace the unexpected this summer?
After all, we surely thought life would be back to normal by summer, and it isn’t. It is easy to get caught up in our disappointments and staring at what we want life to be. If we aren’t careful, summer will slip right by us. #summer Share on XHowever, there is another choice. We can embrace the unexpected this summer by turning our focus to God. He is here; our Lord is speaking and ready to direct our steps, but we must be listening. Will you listen?
Focusing on God will be the answer to thriving in the midst of the unexpected. We can’t allow the world to sweep us into chaos. We must fix our eyes on Jesus. Share on X“They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” Psalm 112:7

Featured Post
Over the remainder of July, I plan to step back a little from my typical routine to focus on God and embrace the unexpected this summer. The link-up will still be here each week – so don’t go anywhere! However, our featured post on Embracing the Unexpected will be absent until August. The good news is you can visit the other hosts and see what captivating articles they have picked to feature.

Thanks for this reminder. We need to keep these truths in front of us all the time. I don’t think any of us could have imagined what this year would look like. But gratefully, we can know the one who holds the future in His hands.
Amen! We can know the one. I am so grateful. I hope you have a great weekend. Maree

Thanks for this reminder, Maree. It has been such a tumultuous year so far, and I think it might get worse as things ramp up for the election. Our only peace and hope is in Him.
Barbara,
I think you might be right about things getting worse. Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus together. Maree
