I cannot get over how this year is just flying by. I feel like I just started my senior year yesterday and now I'm a graduate, getting my masters, renting my own apartment, driving a new car and working full time. It is just crazy! I love it though. I like being on my own, being independent and being an adult. Don't get me wrong...there are days I wish I was still just a little girl. She's still inside me somewhere

This morning in church we took communion. Pastor Jerry shared about the intimacy, preparation and meaning of the last supper and the first communion. I am guilty of taking communion as a ritual or religious practice once a month. However, this morning I was gently convicted. God called his disciples to prepare for the last supper and so we too need to prepare ourselves for our communion and remembrance of God.

God did not just speak this to me in regards to communion but in other aspects of my life. I am praying and waiting for big things to happen, miracles if you will. I have been so occupied with having patience and waiting on the Lord but he has called me to actively wait.To get ready for His works, not just sit around twiddling my thumbs! I need to be preparing my heart and mind for when these events come to pass. Am I right? When God moves He moves big and I need to be ready for him.

And so, this morning I was reminded of the amazing sacrifice of Christ on the cross. I was moved by the love and mercy He continues to show every day. I was convicted about taking communion for granted. And I was challenged to actively wait on God and prepare my heart for the works He will complete.  

Fall is on its way!

I love Fall! It is my most favorite season. I love the colors. I love the cool, crisp autumn air. I love sweaters and jackets and boots. Oh I love boots. Oh! And scarves. I love scarves. Especially the green one Yvonne got me for Christmas last year.

I love pumpkins. I am so excited to go pumpkin picking. To curl up on the couch with my honey and watch the Bills play and roast pumpkin seeds. I can't wait to order pumpkin coffee from Starbucks and a pumpkin muffin.

What do I love as well? Bedding. Fresh, clean, warm bedding  And I just bought this set from target. I think I'm going to buy either sage colored or light blue curtains to go with it. I just bought gold colored ones to bring out the gold in it but I think they will be to dark. I have a small bedroom and it needs as much natural light as possible to avoid making it seem any smaller.

However, I am out of town house sitting for Will's family while they are in Florida. So, my brand new bedding will arrive before I get home. I am honestly very bummed that it will sit in it's packaging for days before I get to open it and make my new, wonderful bed.
