Hello! Hope you all are having a great week so far. I sure am excited that it’s storming outside right now, and even more excited about the cooler weather to follow! I am definitely ready for fall.

Speaking of fall – I pretty much love everything about it. Pumpkins, leggings, boots, scarfs, cool weather, hot coffee and tea, cozy blankets and warm fires – all the fall things. It’s also a time that I really miss my family when I’m living away from them because of all the fun traditions we used to have growing up, and of course, the fun fall/winter holidays on the horizon. Last week I talked a little about change, and how while it is usually a beautiful thing, it can also be rather difficult at times. And those difficult times often come during seasons when I would have been doing something with family if they were near me. I guess if I had to sum up these feelings into one word it would be this – homesickness.

It’s no surprise that life brings change – sometimes that change can be scary, sometimes exciting, but always teaches us something new about ourselves that we would otherwise not have learned. If you know me, then you also know that I’ve gone through a LOT of transitions throughout the past couple of years. I’ve graduated from college, gotten married, helped run a sales business with my husband, moved twice and lived in three different states, started a new job, attended several different churches – let’s just say it’s been a bit of a whirlwind.

Hello! Hope you guys are all having a great Labor Day Weekend so far! So…it’s been awhile since my last post. Yeah, sorry about that. I’ve been working really hard on finishing my e-book [which I’m hoping to release this fall], along with brainstorming ways to make this little blog exceptionally awesome.

I’m sure you’ve noticed a few changes since my last post – new banner, new categories, slightly different layout. Let me explain. You can still expect to see scriptural based devotionals [categorized in the Faith section], but I really wanted to branch out and start writing about other topics in addition to the devotionals. I want this to become more of a lifestyle blog from a Christian perspective. Kind of like a road map for living a Christian lifestyle within the confines of today’s crazy culture. I am by no means perfect at living life [obviously] and I am hoping that through this blog I’ll be able to share some of the things I’m going through, all while encouraging you in your own life.
