Monday!!

This week we have a short week due to Hearland Teacher's Convention so my last day of classes is on Wednesday! :) I'm very excited for a break. Sunday was a nice relaxing day with a long nap taken by both Merissa and I and getting done some much needed homework. And, Monday was another B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L fall day. The air was crisp and the sun was warm and shining bright over everything. I have been collecting a few pictures of fall things that have stood out to me for the past few weeks. These are just a few. Not many things turn colors around here like they do at home but God has stopped me dead in my tracks some days walking to class shouting "I am your God who loves you and who is bigger than all things."







Walking to class this morning a song jumped into my head. It was "Blue Skies" by Point of Grace. I had the wind at my back and the bright sun shining on my face and I just sang the chorus in my head.

On days of gray
when doubt clouds my view
It's so hard to see past my fears
My strength seems to fade
and it's all I can do
to hold on, till the light reappears
Still, I believe though some rain's bound to fall
That you're here next to me
and you're over it all

Lord, the sky's still blue
for my hope is in you
you're my joy
you're the dream that's still alive
Like the wind at my back
and the sun on my face
you are life,
you're grace
You are blue skies
you are my blue skies.

These are the little things that show me that God is present in my life and lets me see joy in the world around me.
