Loving fall time in Ohio!

The colors of the leaves, the smell of fresh apples picked right off the tree, pumpkins, friends.... the list goes on and on...

Fall.

does something to my heart.

I love seeing the beauty and creativity of the Lord displayed on the earth. We are so blessed and loved by him!

Each little vein in every leaf, every dip along the blades of grass, were all hand crafted by the king. mmm, makes my heart sing and my soul leap inside for joy, rushing up my stomach through my throat and out my mouth! Glory! Jesus is good!

When you find yourself in a barren field, empty all that you once knew and held dear, lay in pieces at your feet, all you got is the hope that comes with each sun rise, and the word of God that always remains. It is those broken places, where our hearts are revealed, raw and open for all to see. Inside brokeness is where true beauty lies.... It is a beauty that you can't create or make up. It allows you to be you with no masks or cover ups. And in that place, the broken torn areas of your heart begin to change, when you call upon the name of Jesus. He awaits our call to him in brokenness. OOh I believe it is his delight to come rushing in and save the day! If we let him....and if we are open to his plans and ways....not ours.

That is where I find myself struggling to accept his plans, when I am broken and torn inside. Every time I choose to let him in and work on me, I come out of dark situations smiling bigger than before.
