breathe

fall is a favorite time for me. leaves. apple sauce(homemade). walks. color. cinnamon. new.

with a and i doing youth ministry i feel like we are still on school year mode....with seasonal change with scheduling...goals....and hopefully slowing down a bit.

i want to breathe life into people. breathe God's truth and promises into those that are in need.

i want to be bold in my lifestyle. i want to be content with the blessings that he has given me....not searching or longing for more. more. more material. more clarification. another sign. more things.....

i want to be a child of his. i want to hear is voice.

this fall is different for me. lots on the plate that i am playing with.....a and i are trusting.....we will continue to serve. live out our call. trusting you.
