Update

I really enjoy fall! We don't get all the color change but the cooler weather and warm clothing is so pleasant. I really enjoy curling up with a good book or movie and drinking hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. There is something peaceful and cozy about this time of year.

It is also small group time at church. We are hosting a group in our home every week and we are really excited to be getting to know more people. We are a sermon based group, so we dig deeper into the sermon and talk about how to actively apply the scriptures to our lives. I am really excited because this small group season, the church is going through Hebrews. I am looking forward to better understanding this particular book of the Bible.

I am getting ready to have surgery in a couple of weeks. I am really nervous, just because the idea of surgery makes me nervous. I am really hoping they can finally figure out why I have been having pain. I am so thankful that I was able to get it all scheduled quickly though. Good to get it over with. :-)

One of the things that has been coming up a lot in small group, church, work, and my quiet times is sacrifice. What am I willing to give up for the betterment of others and to honor the Lord. He gave everything, what will I give? Am I a believer or a follower or both? Where is my focus? Am I 100% sold out? What would I do under heavy persecution? Would I deny or stand firm?

Just things I have been thinking about lately. Happy Fall All!
