So, by far, I think my favorite week in the whole year is the first week or 10 days of October. The leaves are all still on the trees, but they are the most vibrant oranges and yellows and reds your heart could imagine. Every fall, the Lord takes my breath away by His beauty in the trees. (Light bulb occuring as I type...) He seems to like to remind me that it's perfectly normal to experience a lot of change in a short period of time and that it will be easiest for me if I just let Him determine how, what, when, where and how that change will occur in my life. If only it were as easy as just being a leaf on a tree, but it's a bit more complex than that. In the Bible, in John chapter 15, it talks about in detail how we are the branches on the vine of Christ. We are to abide in Him and be obedient to His commands, and that He is our true source of life and nourishment. John even records Jesus' words that we cannot do anything of eternal value without Him. I wish I were better at applying that every day, but the Lord has been faithful to remind me how much I desperately need Him for my life. He continues to bring me back to His feet in desperation and surrender asking Him to lead me and use me in whatever ways He has planned. Despite the fact that my times with Him have been far from consistant really about the last two months, He has been faithful and I'm learning even as I'm sharing His truth right now some of what He's been trying to teach me. I hope it helps you where ever you're at in the changing seasons of your life in Christ.
I love you.
In Him,
Kate
I love you.
