It’s a wrap! As summer comes to an end, we prepare for another season—and for many of us educators and our students, that means a brand-new school year.

Every year, I feel like I blink and summer is gone, and this year was no different. My summer was filled with plenty of work, and while our family didn’t take a big getaway vacation, that’s okay.

As a new season approaches, I already know it is going to be a busy one, so I am reminded by God to know when to rest and to do things in His strength, not my own.

So before diving into the busyness ahead, I wanted to pause and share a little recap of my simple summer—through a few highlights and snapshots I captured along the way.
