fall thoughts

fall is here. cooler mornings, cooler evenings, cooler weather in general. fall colors appearing on the trees, bushes...the oranges, reds, yellows...i kind of love it. i love the thought of sweaters and jeans, warm snugly blankets at night, football games, pie, hot coffee (or chocolate if you prefer). its just plain great. everyone is back in school, falling into normal routines, youth group is regularly meeting again...it just feels good.

i look forward to us growing and changing this year. forward to each group laughing, discussing, playing, eating together. i see us serving others, loving others, and growing in faith.

i'm praying for each of you. that you would grow in your faith, grow in your relationships. grow physically, mentality, spiritually...

praying that this year we would open ourselves up to God and His plan for our lives. fully trusting that He knows what we need and what we should do.

praying for this journey. oh what a journey it will be. grateful that it's a journey i get to go on with each of you.
