It’s June, Fam!
Which means summer’s here (officially June 21st).
Are you ready?

School is out.
Temps are rising.
Work seems lighter. A little.

Fun, Freedom & Creativity

I originally re-posted the picture above last year. It’s the LA Times’s photo of two sisters, Cassy and Darcy, cooling off in the fountains at Hollywood and Highland, not far from the Walk of Fame.

What I love about this pic is that it captures the feeling of summer in LaLa Land: fun, freedom and creativity.

That’s what I pray for each of you this summer. That you would have fun, freedom & creativity. And that “your joy might be full”.

Full of Joy

I remember that expression from John’s writings several times. First in John 15:11, Jesus tells His disciples that He shares with them His teachings about abiding in Him and loving and walking in obedience so that “your joy might be full.”

John circles back around and uses the same expression when he explains why he’s writing the letter that became 1 John (1:4) and why he wants to visit the church instead of writing the letter that became 2 John (1:12): so that “your joy may be full.”

That full is like complete. That’s what I pray for you. That you have joy that is complete this summer.

You’re welcome in the LaLa

And if you have a hard time choosing a place to va-cay or need 80 degrees with a breeze, you are welcome in the LaLa! We’ve got beaches and palm trees and movie premieres. Take a tour of the studios or walk up Griffith Observatory to see the Hollywood sign.

What are you doing this summer?
Got any ideas to walk in full joy?

Guess we could all do somersaults in the sprinklers… and then go get our “hair did”!
Lots of love from the LaLa,
Naima
