This morning here in good ole' Nashville is a cloudy 66 degree day. It's gorgeous. The leaves are changing colors and the clouds will move out later today and it will warm up to a balmy 75. :) Like I said before I love this weather so I am in heaven. You know what I find so amazing about the Lord is how great an artist He is. Let's talk leaves for second. I love the changing of the leaves. I love the deep reds, golds, oranges. They are beautiful. But have you noticed that no matter what color the sky is they all match it? If the sky is a deep blue the oranges and reds blend with it so well. If the sky is a gloomy gray the leaves match the grays. Only God can make that happen. He is so amazing. I love the Lord more and more each day and I'm learning more and more each day how I need to depend on Him in every aspect of my life. He is the One who is with me every day and knows my thoughts and knows my heart and my intentions.
Last night we had Ladies Prayer Group at church. I believe the Lord was really working in our meeting. I was excited about it. It was all about prayer. I believe that most Christians don't spend enough time in prayer, me included. I felt like people don't have the compassion and love that we need for each other. I feel like we don't pray enough for each other. I want our LPG to be a close group of girls. I want us all to love the Lord and serve Him in our daily lives with all that we have. I want us to love each other, care for each other and have compassion for each other...to be real friends...sisters. After we read verses on prayer and had a few words we broke up into small groups and shared prayer requests about ourselves. I know in my group the Lord was there. We shared, cried and we prayed together. I could see the Lord working. But just as fast I could see the devil working just as hard. Like I said before I am burdened or concerned about a few things concerning this group of women and the devil knew it and worked it to his advantage. But what I know without a doubt is that the Lord will win this spiritual battle that is going on one way or another.
I talked to my friend from GA last night and she gave me her plans for them coming up this weekend. She is married and has a two year old daughter. They were part of the old gang that used to live here and are some of my very best friends. They are coming up this weekend for the Fall Festival along with my brother and his family. Them all coming up couldn't have come at a better time for me. These are what real friends are all about and I'm so thankful they are in my life and that we have all remained close. We are planning on taking the kids to a pumpkin patch farm not too far from here. It will be alot of fun this weekend.
I also talked to my niece last night. She is 2 1/2 years old and incredibly funny. She was telling me that she was coming to my house this weekend and that she gets to see Butler (our Yorkie). She then said she had to go to because she had to take a bath and get ready for church. She said it plain as day. She is growing so fast...too fast! I can't wait to see her and my nephew. I can't wait to hug and kiss and play with them. I miss them so much!
Tonight I'm packing for my vacation. I leave a week from today. I know it's early to pack but I'll be staying at my parents house this weekend along with everybody else so I need to pack early. I'm really hoping I can get everything into one suitcase. I'll let you know how it goes.
Enjoy the beautiful day in your neighborhood.
