IT'S FALL IT'S FALL IT'S FALL

So as you can tell... IT'S FALL! This is honestly my FAVORITE season. I think it has to do with all the colors everywhere. It is just a reminder of how AMAZING Our God is. He picked the colors that I see when I walked outside. How AMAZING is that? If you aren't as fortunate as me to live in the Montreat area, you may not understand how I can be as joyful about the colors, but let me tell you it is GORGEOUS. I don't have pictures yet, but soon. Real soon. Today isn't the prettiest day ever... in fact it is one of those crappy looking days were it wants to rain, but it won't. So it is dark and gross looking outside but there are burst of COLOR! Reds, Yellows, some orange. Did I mention that I love fall?

Speaking of fall :) It was Fall break this past week. After talking to someone that I have know most of my life I realized that it was my last fall break. Realizing that brought back a lot of memorizes for me. Some were really hard to grasp. This time last year, I had one of the most amazing fall breaks that included hanging out with the one and only Aly Decken. Most of you who actually will read this know that Aly is probably my favorite person EVER. And that she is in China and has been there for about twoish months now. It has been a hard transition for me and her as well. Communication isn't the easiest thing in the entire world since she is 12 hours a head of me. However... we have made it work... slightly. Skype has been a huge help in the communication process as well as email.

One of the things that I love about breaks is driving through Spartanburg and seeing some of the people that really made an impact on my life. Listening to some of the stories that they remember about me is hilarious because I learned that I have grown so much over the past four years. From times with boyfriend and times when I was stressed out these people know everything about who I was. It is really nice to know that even though I don't always see it I have grown amazing amounts.

Montreat has been a great place for my faith to not only grow, but be challenged. That sounds weird to me because I think that coming to a Christian school I might not be challenged in my faith because it is easy to be a Christian. However, because of Montreat, and more importantly my advisor, I was pushed to take a step out of the box. I was pushed to go to Mont Lawn Camp this summer. and that was a major growing time for me. I feel so much more grown up after that experience than I think I would have been with just working at a church over the summer. Even if that is what I would have been more comfortable to me. The classes that I am taking this semester have also challenged me greatly. I would be lying if I said that I have loved every minute of it... because I haven't, but it has been good. I have begun to noticed that the more I seek to learn, I find the answers for myself. It has been a great experience. (Crazy concept I know.)

I met with a friend at the Drip this morning and she gave in the verse Jeremiah 33:3 which says, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." I love it. I have really been thinking about it since she said it... partially because it is on my hand and partially because it is amazing to think that when I call out and search for God, He will tell me some amazing things that I wouldn't even think about. It was really a comfort to hear because of that whole graduation thing that happens in May. So yeah... I need a job. Any logical ideas... you all know how to reach me, so please do it up.

I want to go Apple Picking... right now. This is the end.
