For September, I’m committing to zero scrolling on social. My brain already feels lighter. 💛 But there are still moments I want to park here just for the joy of them!
Yesterday, Selah got her first official “big girl” haircut. She’s had a trim before, but this was her first salon experience and it was SO fun. One of those mom-days I purely enjoyed and will always remember.
We’d been looking forward to this mommy-daughter day: breakfast, Bible study, then the salon, both of us getting our hair done. “It’s going to be so fun and fancy!” I told her… she loves fancy. 💖
We did my hair first, then while my dye was setting, she got hers.. 5-6 inches off! She smiled the whole way through (seriously, .wilson.hair you’re a champ!). Afterward, we went dress shopping with her birthday gift card. She picked a dress, necklace, and bracelet, then helped me try on a few things. I love hearing her opinions!
Days like this make me reflect: Are we truly enjoying the life God has given us? Life has challenges, yes.. but are we tasting our morning coffee, feeling the crisp fall air, loving our people, or seeing a messy house as a sign of joy and life?
I think back to childhood, sliding down the stairs on a fold-n-go, couch cushion forts, hours of messy Barbie play. Messy? Yes. Chaotic? Definitely. But pure joy. What a gift.
I want more of that joy.. not always consuming, doing more, learning.. but truly *enjoying* the life God has given us. Thank you, Jesus, for the full life! 🙏
John 10:10 – "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
