september

it's the first day of september! that means fall is coming, and THAT makes me so excited. i think virginia is the best place to live when it comes to the seasons.  we get every season and we get every season to the FULL.  i mean look at that picture.  it's real, no filter.  i took it last fall in broadway, virginia.  the seasons in virginia make me appreciate God's timing so much more i think.  right when I am just getting a little bit tired of the hot or cold weather the season starts to change, but it isn't like a slap in the face.  we ease into each new season. it's wonderful.  oh gosh I LOVE IT!  

im so excited about crafting and fun fall projects.  the color. the trends. long pants. boots. scarves. apples picking.  brently, abby, and i are making it a goal to go apple picking.  you can expect that blog to be coming soon.  

i think i forgot how many great things are to come when the semester started.  i found myself getting a little overwhelmed and stressed about the work load to come.  yesterday i almost had an anxiety attack because i couldn't organize all my homework and my schedule.  sometimes i have a little bit of OCD.  but then i drove through town and watched the sunset behind the mountains and fields and it all just seemed to go away. bridgewater helps.  it clears my mind and i can focus back on what life is all about.  life out hear is just simple. its safe too.  i get a little glimpse at how community and the body of christ is suppose to be.  everyone says hello to you as you pass.  even if they don't know who you are.  and they  praise jesus for everything.  they help you when you when you need it and even when you don't really need it. haha.  it's easy to put off responsibility though.  i have put off all my school work and i know it will all catch up to me on monday. sigh. but for right now september has come and life is good.  life is simple and real good.  'fried green tomatoes" is on, i'm surrounded by friends who love me, and who are real, and the pressures of the world are gone.  happy saturday, happy september, happy soon to be fall. :)
