Well, here we are at the end of September.  What a fast month it was!  We got school underway, joined a new co-op, dealt with all sorts of unexpecteds, but have come through it all intact. 

Actually, some parts of this month were extra special.  My parents decided to take a vacation to see Niagara Falls and they graciously invited Shelby & Lindsay to go along.  They left on a Saturday morning and returned home the following Thursday late afternoon.  They had a blast!  They were full of stories to tell and surprised me by how much "history" they absorbed from the trip.  Of course, I like to think it was because I have done such a good job retraining them to like history....  LOL

While they were gone, Tom and I attempted to refinish Shelby's bedroom floor, but didn't get it done before they got back, which was disappointing, but it was just another one of those "unexpecteds" that tend to frequent my life....:)  Tom put the final finish on it last night, so when we got home from church today, we could start moving furniture back in.  Shelby is so excited to have this done.  Just one step closer now to getting her room all ready for the baby to arrive. 

As I have mentioned before, fall is my most favorite of the seasons.  And I feel like, even though the busyness is still ever present, my inner person is responding to the fall weather and is calming down some.  I feel a renewed sense of purpose in my steps and a deeper connection to things of a spiritual nature.  It is a good feeling. 

So, as we say goodbye to September and welcome in October, I am excited about what God will use in another fall month to draw me closer to Him.  What about you?  What has God been doing in your life recently as you pass from one month to another, or one season to another? I would love to hear about it!

Great question...

I find myself a bit blah right now. Wondering what God is doing in my life and if I'm on the right track. Not sure if it's leftover feelings from the move, mixed up hormones, or a bit of everything. I love fall, but apparently it is not a season they get to enjoy in Texas. I'm dreaming of cooler weather and wondering how to get my motivation back.

Sorry...not a very uplifting answer to your question.
