it's fall.

i'm excited it's the fall. i can't believe it is already here that it's already cold and the leaves are changing...crazy how time really does fly. things around here are going well. we hosted a couple of outdoor education groups this week.. i worked the high ropes course finally and also the climbing tower.. my favorite thing to work and play on is the high ropes.. stuff that high off the ground is so fun to me. i got to catch up with a few friends this week on the phone. it's good to hear familiar voices and hearing from the people you love. i wish i had more time to catch up with all my friends. i miss everyone from home, lynchburg, and sandy cove so much! that's part of growing up though i guess. jodi came up to work the corn maize today!! she is a friend i met at liberty who did the internship before me and we grew to be good friends so it was so good to see and hang out with her. today was the 2nd weekend of the corn maize and i worked the tower.. basically i am on a really really high tower.. probably over 20ft tall.. and helped lost people find their way around our 6 acre corn maize! it actually is so much fun and i get to work it again on halloween which will be so fun! =) there is also a 5k race for the ranch on the 31st and i am running it! my first race.. i have been training pretty hard for it! i can't wait!

i love the feel of fall.. the feel of Christmas time.. it's such a great time.. it just reminds me of good friends and spending time with family.. i love bundling up and getting coffee with friends, sitting around the fire, camping, snuggling inside and watching a movie when it's cold, and watching football. i love it. it is such a great time for relationships to build and it makes me reflect back on the way God made people to be relational.. it's an awesome concept if you sit down and think about it. He is such a relational God. He wants a relationship with us as well. I want my relationship with Him to grow and grow. to sit around the fire and talk about Him and His goodness, to sit and talk with him, to snuggle up with my coffee and read about Him, to sit and be with Him. the fall and winter time remind me of how awesome it is to have relationships with His people and with Him. it is such an awesome aspect of the life He has given us. i can't imagine what it will feel like having a family one day that i can spend time just being with in the fall. it will be beautiful. as the leaves change i am reminded of His beauty. sitting on that tower today was such a blessing. i saw the countryside and the trees with the sunset starting to change colors.. absolutely captivating..

May my life reflect the beauty of the Lord. <3

along this journey,
