Schools Out Summer’s In!!!

Finally, summer is here! Huge shoutout to all of the teens for finishing another school year. Whether you were promoted to a grade, learned something new, or just survived without getting silent lunch, CB4L is super proud of you!

So now what?

I know summer is the perfect time to relax, sleep in, and catch up on your favorite shows, and you should! But it’s also a great chance to get back to some things that may have taken a backseat during the school year due to homework or practices or just a heavy schedule.

That might look like:

Spending more time with God in prayer, bible reading, or devotionals

Mastering your skills for the upcoming sports season

Journaling and reflecting

Or just giving your mind and body some much-needed REST!

Or maybe summer’s your moment to try something New—like:

Picking up a summer job or internship

Learning a new life skill-cooking, budgeting, driving lessons

Trying something adventurous that’s out of your comfort zone!

Whatever you choose, use this summer to TAKE BACK YOUR TIME!

One of my favorite Bible verses says it best:
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15–17 (NIV)

Let’s be real—when you’re not focused or staying active in the right ways, distractions can sneak in fast. The enemy loves to pull us off track when we’re idle. But when you stay intentional about your time, you’ll not only grow—you’ll thrive.

So whatever you do this summer, stay sharp, stay rooted in God, and have the BEST time ever. You earned it!
