fall is in the air!

I took this photo week 1 of my married life, and guess what, I'm still writing thank you letters! But I'm not complaining; how could I in this beautiful setting? And of course the reason I'm still writing is because everyone was so generous! I am overflowing with thankfulness for my sweet husband, lovely home, supportive family, and thoughtful friends.
Living as a wife with total freedom in my daily activities has been so fun and so hard at the same time. I get so much joy from providing home cooked meals for Scott and seeing his arms go up in the air shouting, "YES - I love having a wife!" But at the same time I have lies whispering in my ear saying, "You are so lazy, worthless. You don't have a job, and you don't have a strong reason for staying at home...." And that ignites pride in me. I just want to get a job solely to gain the pride that comes with it. Not because I feel like the Lord wants me in the architectural field, or not even because I desire to be. It's just for the pride.

And so, the Lord is telling me to be patient and be still. Find calmness and peace in Him. Enjoy and soak up this time. He has a plan for me.

How about the crisp cool air today!? At least it is here in Montgomery! I love it! Happy Fall :)
