Happy Fall!! (a very scattered-brain post )

Fall is here.  Already!  Where in the world did summer go??

I've noticed that colder weather (ha...that makes me chuckle because what I say is "colder" here would still be HOT if I lived in Maine) brings the game of soccer INDOORS in our household.  I really don't mind, actually.  I guess I'm a crazy mom or something!!

And Mike's job...he's been going at the new job for almost 3 months now.  Praise the Lord!!!  It has been SUCH a blessing for our family!  I continually pray for God's blessing and favor upon Mike!

As for me, I am learning to truly DELIGHT in Jesus!!  I have felt incredible joy and freedom in Him...joy inexpressible!  I am experiencing a true excitement and celebration of WHO HE IS and who I am in Him.  He is sovereign and good!  He establishes my steps and DELIGHTS in me! 

1 Peter 1

³Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, ⁵who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. ⁷These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. ⁸Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, ⁹for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Oh, and PLEASE read Psalm 37:1-9 and 23-24!  God DELIGHTS in His children!  He is holding our hand when we stumble!  I LOVE that!!!

Okay...see, this is a crazy, crazy post!!!  Oh, and I just got my tonsils out.  OUCH!  I'm off to bed!
