Yesterday was the first day of fall. I love the fall, it is full of apple cider, warm colors, memories and pumpkins. When I think of fall, inevitably good memories of home come to my mind, Thanksgiving, picking peaches off of the tree outside, racking leaves with my little sister and then jumping in them, reading a good book outside with a big blanket. But this year is different, though all of those things came to my mind, we have officially put our house (of the past 12 years) up for sale. It is the beginning of a new and exciting adventure, but at the same time it is kind of sad. I don't know what this fall is going to look like, where we will live, or what exactly I am doing.
My family is moving to Dallas, though I am planning on going with them, I am not sure that I will move at the same time, seeing that I have responsibilities here. I don't know what fall and winter look like in Texas, so it is hard for me to imagine the next phase of my life there. I know, and must stand on the knowledge that God has good things for me there, and that this next season will be good.
But for now, I am going to enjoy the changing of the season around me, and look back on fond memories knowing that I will simply make new ones this year. I will look forward as well as back, and I will remember the Lords faithfulness to me. In these "days of awe" before The Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, before the Lords time of harvest and fresh starts, I will rejoice in the wonderful years that He gave me here in my home, and with the people and places that I know and love.
