Yay!!!

Fall is finally here! Bring on the rain! I cannot tell you how much I love rainy days. There's no better excuse to be lazy, grab a good book and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and sit next to a fire all day. My friends joke that I was born in the wrong state because I loooove cold weather, coats, scarves and boots. There's just something about the crispness in the air and the holiday cheer that goes along with the fall and winter seasons. Happy Thanksgiving!

God is Good

Odds are that the rougher my week is, the more I'm learning from the Lord. This week's lesson was a much needed reminder that God is always good. I was reminded this week that God is good not because He takes away suffering, but because He enters into it. I've seen it time and again in my life as God has used sorrow and trials to really reach out to me and remind me that He loves me and wants to comfort me more than anyone on this earth ever could. It has been in those times when I've physically felt God's presence the most. He is just so good because he brings joy and hope out of sorrow and despair. As Thanksgiving approaches I am reminded that regardless of our circumstance in life, there is always something to thank God for. And today I am thanking Him for that.

I've been ruined...

...by a good book. I am a self-professed dork who has always loved to read. A little over a year ago I fell in love with the novel Evidence of Things Unseen by Mariann Wiggins, an old professor of mine. It is a beautifully written and epic love story, and no book that I've cracked since has compared. I've probably tried to read over fifteen books since that time, all of which I've gotten bored with and abandoned. I'm desperate for a good read, so if you have any suggestions please send them over :)
