Pumpkin patches, nutmeg & cinnamon, leafs turning colors... yup! Fall seems to finally be here. Well as much as it is going to be in Northern California. The pic might not reflect it that well, but we have definitely have some fall-landscape going on. I'm enjoying it!
Seasons are really good when we learn to enjoy the nuances of them. Right now I'm in an amazing season, and the colorful surroundings just highlight it all the more. It's not that there haven't been any challenges, but it's easier to face them when you're at the right place, at the right time. There's such a deep sense of peace in my heart just from knowing that; I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, come what may.
I'm learning all kinds of things, I'm using and growing in the gifts that Papa has placed in me, I'm part of an amazing community, I am free, I am loved; I am speechless at the goodness of God and how much He knows my heart. I used to think "God's goodness" was completely mysterious, and you had to figure out what it meant in each circumstance. This has been a time of realizing that while I may not understand the full extension of God's goodness, it is quite literal. He knows my heart, He's redeemed it, it matters to Him! How awesome is that? He cares about the things I care for... A lot of times even more than I care for them. wow!! He is so good!! God is so good! God is so good!
