Fall Feeling

Whenever I step outside, I get this phenomenal free feeling of fall. Here in Alabama, the leaves haven't turned yet, but the breeze blows and the sun shines. I never had weather like this in Indiana. I can't even describe it or show you with pictures, but I will try anyways!

This is me taking in a breath of fresh air!

 

The sky is so beautifully blue

And the grass here is different. It's really squishy! I love it! (you can also catch a glimpse of my Dora the Explorer band-aid)

**On a side note, everyday in preschool, we tell a Bible story. For the past week, each day we tell a little more about the Israelites traveling in the wilderness FOREVER! Today, I finally thought: they really do complain A LOT. As if manna, water (from a rock and a bitter lake), and quail weren't enough, they make a golden calf! (don't ask why there's a palm tree in the middle of the dessert...we just always put one up)

(Aren't flannel graphs awesome???!!!!) Those Israelites forget God SO EASILY and were so quick to complain or turn to idols when they thought God wasn't providential or quick enough for their liking. Now, I don't go around building golden calves or anything, but I so VERY OFTEN doubt God's timing, His ways, and Him. Instead of a golden calf, I usually decide to turn toward doubt, my own ways, and even some bitterness, even when He has proved Himself OVER AND OVER. Please Lord, don't break any more "ten commandments" on my account!  What about you?
