God's Promises

Tonight was another amazing Woman's Study and one thing that really hit me was the speaker's comment about when you are needing reassurance for steps of faith that you are talking, read God's promises in the Bible. It hit me that God knows everything about you, everything that you are going through and although these promises are definitely tied to something specific to the time, they are also for me. Let me explain further. I know that this sounds so cliche, but God knew each circumstance that I would be going through and even if that promise was written specifically for let's say Abraham, God still knew that someday I would be going through _____ and that I would need to hear that promise. So he said "This promise is for Abraham but also for my Erin who is going to go through _______ thousands of years from now and I know this. I love her and she'll need to hear this." Oh my gosh!!!! That is so incredible and probably something I should have gotten a long time ago.

Hoodies

So tonight I walked out of my office (which is a garage that will one day be an office) and I was extremely happy to feel a bit of a chill in the air. I love fall. I love the colors, the excuse to wear a light jacket (I love jackets), and the various drinks that come out at coffee shops (pumpkin spice). I love how relaxed and lazy it makes me feel. I love the apple picking, the hayrides, the pumpkin patches. I don't know why but it seems magical to me, like I'm a little kid again with nothing to worry about, it feels like something out of a movie. My soundtrack as of late has been jazz and old standards. Hello Sinatra and Bennett. Hello Over the Rhine, Mindy Smith, and Norah Jones. Hello Hoodie.
