October 1st.... SEASONS

Well blogger friends, it's October 1st. Hard to believe that it's already time for fall. Before you know it, Christmas will be around the corner. I am for sure having Christmas fever because everytime, (which seems like everyday), I walk into good ole' Hobby Lobby, I see Christmas decor and have to pop down the aisle to take a look. I already have Avery's tree picked out for her room! It's going to be bright and colorful!

Today feels like a fall day. It's windy, getting cooler, and kind of overcast. These days are so great! I light candles, stay inside, clean, and play with my little girl! Which reminds me.... she is officially 4 months old on Saturday! She has grown up before my eyes. She smiles all the time and is just a joy to be around. She has become my best friend. October remindes me of the month my first baby was to be born. Im sure most of my readers new this but I miscarried in 2008 & the baby was to be born in October. I rejoice because I know that he/she is in heaven and one day I will see it's sweet face. But, God is so good and blessed me with Avery and on this October day I am reminded of my princess who is a God send. Im also reminded as the seasons are changing, so do our lives. God plants seasons in our lives for a reason so that we can change, and grow in our walk with Him. I am not a perfect woman by ANY MEANS... I make tons of mistakes and I totally sin... But, I ask for forgiveness and do my best to walk with Him daily. I have found in doing this, he has blessed me in my life tremendously. When I left my Woman's Bible Study Tuesday a girl that sits at my table asked me how I am so happy always, and that early.. because I love life, & love what God has blessed me with! I hope someday when I am gone I will be remembered by my joy of life!

Hope you will think about the "seasons" today as we enter October, and think to yourself what you want God to do in this season of your life.
