Definitely Not an Elephant...

The old saying "An elephant never forgets"  is not holding true for me!  Usually my mind is like a steel trap, but lately, I can barely remember where I live!  I hope that this absent- mindedness is not permanent, or Rich will have to attach a leash to me so I don't wander off!

Fall

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year!  I love it when the leaves reveal their natural colors, and when the air turns brisk with a chill that makes your want a hot sip of something yummy.  It reminds me of how brilliant God is and how much he loves us all year round.  He didn't have to create all the seasons, but he did.  He chose to make this time when the old falls away and all the earth takes a period of rest.  Sometimes I wonder what that would feel like.... to rest for a while, de-stress, and simply bask in him...  I am a huge fan of this fall season in particular because I am learning so much about myself in this new season of my life. Like the many changes that take place from fall to winter I reflect daily on the changes I have experienced this year. Some were brilliantly surprising, while others utterly heartbreaking, and as I enjoy each new season, I continue to strive even more to exalt my Creator in them. I still look forward to my other favorite season.....Spring!  I can't wait to see what new changes every new season of my life brings as I walk with my Savior!
