Observations

Well it is Labor Day and in Northern Michigan it looks like fall and the cold have officially moved in. These are some of my observations I have since my last writing on August 12th.

School. For most people and their families school is starting. We have been working for a month now. The other day my children were at the school playing on the playground and this is the conversation that occurred.
Noah: Mom how many times do the kids get out for recess.
Mom: Once a day when I was a girl we had 2 recesses and also out at lunch.
Noah: No wonder kids are overweight today.
Mom: Noah they eat more junk food then when I was a kid I don't think recess has all to do with it.
Noah: Josh would pop if he had to sit that long.
Mom: probably
Noah: hmmmmm

I think my kids are thankful that when they need to burn off a quick burst of energy they can run out and do it and come back in and continue with their work.

Weather. The weather is getting chilly early this year we had several cool days in August. We are heading into what I believe is going to be a cold winter and possibly long as well. I am so thankful for Gods provision that my family will be taken care of. I know he is the one who has lead me to preserve an abundance of food this year and he also made sure we had the money to purchase the wood we needed. I have concerns this coming winter for many possibly not so fortunate people and I do not know why. My mission will be to praise God even if I don't like the weather and try to help those who are not so fortunate.

God has brought me into a new season in my life. I have much that he is working on with me. I am so thankful for some very key people he has placed in my path that are here to help me through the outworking of some areas of hurt. He is good and has clearly revealed a few things to me that I will be taking on for project. New seasons are a very interesting thing to go through. Sometimes you are sad to see the old ones go but happy to move onto exciting new adventures.

Be blessed.
