Fall is Here!

ok, so admittedly, this post has nothing to do with Corban's little adventures. But I couldn't help myself- Fall is here! Even if we relapse into an indian summer, we've had a day or two of beautiful clear sunshine with cool breezes. Nights are getting chillier (in comparison to 105, anything is chillier!) There's something about this season that makes me smile and want to curl up with tea on the couch all day.

I was reflecting this morning on God's provision and how ABDUNDANTLY He's provided for our needs. Perhaps it's the anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas that makes it special, but this season reminds me so much of God's grace and mercy. I woke up thanking Him that though times are lean and paychecks aren't what we're used to, He's shown Himself faithful. Despite my temptation to get caught up in the things I would like or really really want, my Abba has begun that refreshing of my spirit, a 'change in the wind' just like this wonderful season. I have asked to have a heart like His and He has been slowly, in the heat of summer, changing my heart to see the abundance and 'haves', rather than the 'have-nots.'

"Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.

Whom have I in heaven but you?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Psalm 73:23-26
