:: God knows best::

well, my attempts to become an avid blogger have fallen a little short, but i am hoping that i can get into a groove soon.

fall is here! officially, and i couldn't be more happy. i love the changing leaves, hot cider, chili, football, pumpkins, halloween and thanksgiving--there's just something about wrapping up in a scarf and coat and heading out into the chilly weather that just really makes me happy. i don't think i could live in a place where i didn't experience this season.

i've been doing a lot of thinking lately on how God knows exactly what we need, when we need it. have you ever gone through a time in your life where, at the time, it seemed like God really might have gone off His heavenly rocking chair, but when we really stop and look back, it was just what we needed?

this past sunday in both worship and the message at church, the thought of living in the moment was brought up. leaving the past behind and not looking toward the future, and just living in the present moment. do you ever think about how much time we waste dwelling on what could have been in the past and waiting for things to get better in the future? i am definitely guilty of that, very guilty. so my goal for now, is to really live in the moment, just be... i will encourage you to do the same. take some time to reflect and be thankful for the people and things in your life and if during that process you find something you're unhappy with, why not change it? there's no time like the present, right?
