Fall Fun

Hi friends,

Excited to be here with you today. Being a summer, beach girl, this time of year isn’t my favorite. If I can’t be in shorts and flip-flops, normally I’m not a happy camper. However, I’m learning to appreciate all of the seasons God’s created. There’s a rhythm to them and as the Bible says:

I’ve been going through a wonderful Bible study named Contentment: Seeing God’s Goodness by Megan Hill. It was my gift last month for supporting Truth for Life.

The Beach In the Fall

The beach is still gorgeous in Fall. We were just there this weekend and the beautiful thing about this time of year at the beach? We practically have it to ourselves. Walking along the sand, skirting the ocean waves puttering out at the shore, is so refreshing. The breeze cool on my skin and the moon large. It’s quite blissful. One of our favorite restaurants here even decorates for the season.
