Fall Happenings!

Today was a stupendous day with many wonderful happenings. First of all, I am glad that nature finally got the memo that it is fall. Secondly, I got to wear my new rain boots today (a trivial happiness at that.) Thirdly, I went to the pumpkin patch with friends and it was good fun. We drank cider, sling shot pumpkins, hiked through a corn maze, and went on a hay ride; after which I picked the most perfect pumpkin. It's awesome to live in a place that has these kinds of events, and to have friends to enjoy them with. 






And lastly...
Maria asked me to be her bridesmaid!!! She did it in the sweetest way possible, I was blown away by such a thoughtful gift and surprise. I am so honored to have an opportunity to share such a special moment with such a good friend. I am so excited for the things to come.

Doubt

I have exactly the life that I pictured I would and the life that I wanted and planned for. Along the way I had a lot of hardships, but ultimately God still gave me what I wanted. What is baffling for me is that the devil can give me so much doubt and discontentment even in situations that I know are right for my life. I realized that there won't be a moment in my life where I will be perfectly content and be absolutely happy about every aspect in my life- not without a fight at least. Reading this book has showed me how actively I have to fight every day to stay alert and listen to the voice of God and tell myself truth instead of listening to the lies that the devil tries ...
