November Musings

It was a seasonably warm day today. Not sure whether to wear long sleeves or a short sleeved top with a hoodie. I opt for the latter and walk outside. Sunny skies, a cool breeze stirring, leaves fluttering down from the trees, and the smells of fall settle down on the earth. Kids were enjoying one of the remaining nice, outside play days. Wyatt and Sami were playing in their log cabin, and taking turns pulling one another around in the field. Soccer season is ending,and the weather gets ready to greet the winter sports seasons. Paige played soccer today. Her team won. She says they won the "International State Championship". Mama and I will not dispute this. Elijah runs on the grassy areas now chasing his "ball-ball", with Jamin following closely, encouraging him to be a little boy, not a baby. It is nice to see them playing and enjoying the day. Beaux and Charlie romped in the back yard today, too. Chasing one another, playing dog games and stopping to watch passers-by out near the ball field. Nothing earth shattering, nothing out of the ordinary, but it feels cozy and warm and peaceful. Thank you, Lord, for a quiet day.

Yet when I am afraid..

It seems that no matter what happens, trusting the Lord is always the answer. He gives us the will to do according to His way and always provides a way of escape from the fears and turmoil and temptations. It has been a hectic time, but when I trust in Him, I always feel that inner calm despite my fears. When I am weak, He is strong. Thank You, Lord, for always being with me in spite of the storms. Help me to trust You before the fears, anxieties, and turmoil overcrowd my mind. I will trust in You.
