I used to be a pretty fun-loving gal.
In college, I was almost always up for a random adventure or spontaneous activity with my friends. Weekend road trip to another state? Sure. (As long as I didn’t have an exam on Monday.) Free tickets to a football game? Sign me up.
Then life happened. Graduation came, I married my beloved soldier and began to try to figure out this military wife life.
Schedules were crazy, we were a few thousand miles from home, and I was digging at the bottom of the barrel, trying to regain my grip on what used to be days of fun-filled adventures.
Hubs and I would sometimes sneak in some fun moments in between cycles during his time as a drill sergeant, but it certainly wasn’t as easy at it used to be.
Then a couple of years later, the baby came along.
I love her to death, don’t get me wrong. But some days I wake up and wonder: What just happened?
I went from living a life of fun to one of sleep-deprivation, dirty diapers, tight budgets, counting calories, moving every few years, big ministry projects, you name it.
I went from fun… to none. And I was none to excited about the whole situation. How did everything get so serious all of a sudden?
So what’s this gal to do? Keep reading over at Wives of Faith (where I am a regular contributor) to find out.
But before you go, I would love for you to link up below and join the conversation by leaving a comment with the answer to this question: In what ways do you have fun in your everyday life?
Let’s live it up, my friends. We must have fun in our lives because with fun comes joy and with joy comes Jesus.
And that is a journey that can truly be fun. Here’s to our trip from fun to none and back again!
Enjoying Him,
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” ~Philippians 4:4 NIV
