seasons..
ive been wanting to start a new blog but haven't been motivated enough.
but the start of a new season always makes me start thinking a lot and spurs me to write about it.
i went to the mall the other night to find nicer work clothes for meetings and stuff. i ended up finding nothing except walking by bath and body works i smelt "FALL" and i couldnt resist.
i bought some lamp oil stuff that is called "autumn leaves" which i accidently told johnny it was called "leaves" in which he made fun of me because who wants to smell just leaves?
anyways...that and my pumpkin room spray on sale.
i got in my car and the weather was around 65 or something and i sprayed the pumpkin spray and then i looked and the sunset was perfect. it was one of those "take my breath" moments.
that moment has spurred me into a thought/writing spell. I keep having this nostalgic moments. some happy some that just make me cry. but no matter what the beginning of a new season is always awakening. there is something about the weather changin that gives you hope that maybe just maybe God is changing things, myself, for the good.
joy in Christ has been on the back burner for me. time is flying by for johnny and i. new house. new car..new responsibilities. growing up speeds my life up too much. i never did believe my parents or other adults who constantly reminded me .."life just keeps getting faster" but i do now.
the moments where you stop and realize the changes...the times where you feel engulfed in sin...only to find that the "valleys fill first," and God is changing you by His grace momentarily.
its these times i know God's creation waits eagerly groaning out. Even though the leaves/weather changes, all things will be new someday.
but ill enjoy fall for now.
