It's the first day of Fall and it's 90 something degrees outside. There is something very, very wrong with that! Bring on the cool weather, please! I love the fall. It's my absolute favorite time of the year. There's nothing exciting to blog about right now, but we are staying very busy.
What is occupying our time these days?
- Football. Football. Football. It's what we do on Saturdays. And Sundays. And Thursdays. And Mondays.
- We had a yardsale. Got rid of some junk and made a little money. That was kinda cool.
- Working long, weird hours.
- Bible Study Fellowship. BSF is an international, interdenominational, structured Bible study. There are a lot of women who want to get into this program so you have to register and be chosen to participate. I just got accepted into this 8-year program. I go every Monday night during the school year to a church down the road for about 2 hours for some hard core Bible study. I'm super excited about it. My Mom had done the first 7 years when I was in preschool and they just added an 8th year onto the program. So we are going together and I could not be happier. This year we are studying the book of Isaiah. Yes, a whole year to study one book of the Bible. Very intense. Isaiah is my kind of man though. Say it like it is, don't sugar coat it. Call sin what it is and don't back down. Gotta love it! I also love studying prophecy so I'm thrilled to get to start with this book. This is what I have been craving in my spiritual life and I am so excited about learning and growing in my walk with the Lord!!
- "Scouting the Divine." Kyle and I are facilitating this young adult Bible study at our house on Sunday nights. It's a six week study and it's our first time facilitating as a couple. We have 9 people in our group and they are all so wonderful. We are excited to study with our peers and get to know them better! I'm so proud of myself too because I have created a snack schedule that coordinates with what we are studying that week. For example, this week we are studying God as the Good Shepherd and we are learning about sheep and shepherding. So I am making butterscotch haystacks! We will have grape everying the night we learn about vineyards and wine and we'll have honey snacks on the night we learn about bees and honey. hehe. It doesn't take much to make me happy.
- This is random but I have to say that it thrills my heart that we can hear the local high school marching band on Friday nights from our house. We are super close to the high school and it brings back so many memories when I hear those drums. I loved being in the marching band when I was in high school and Friday night football games were the best!! If we ever get a Friday night free we are going to go to a game.
OK, I'm done rambling. Happy Fall everybody!! Hoping cool weather comes soon! :)
