To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come
You are autumn
~Nichole Nordeman - Every Season ~
Do you feel that?
It's Fall trying to creep in and smother this miserable Summer heat. I think God created Fall and Winter specifically for people who live in Phoenix. I imagine while he was planning he thought to himself "Yep, they'll need a break from this heat to keep their sanity..."
This year more than any other I've craved this change of season. I guess realistically I've just been craving change. I've always been one of those people that rearranges rooms when they are restless and cleans when they're angry...and lately the impulse has been to make things look rentable/buyable. Instead of decorating our house just for us I am in more of a "staging" mode trying to make the house look more appealing to others as well.
Don't get me wrong - I feel incredibly blessed to have this beautiful home to live in. But I do feel a slight tug in a different direction... like we're being called somewhere else.
I'll continue to pray about it because I know God will lead us where we belong next.
And while I wait for an answer I will enjoy watching not only another season change but also watching how our lives will change as well.
Love,
Elyse
