The tree in the neighbor’s yard across the street from our house is turning red. I noticed it a week ago – the outside edges starting to shift, the green beginning to fade, a halo of pending-autumn framing the tree-face. It’s funny when I think about it. The framed-out red and the leaves turning color....
September is already half-gone, can you believe it?? We’re neck-deep in my series on falling back into a quiet time routine, and this morning I shared with my newsletter subscribers how, exactly, I fell into mine. It’s a topic I also talked about with Mary Marantz, a good friend of mine on Friday afternoon. (Lucky...
Oh, hello September. Look at you, lookin’ all shiny and beautiful and almost-fall-like. I hate to say it, but these lingering summer days are numbered. Actually, who am I kidding?

But God is so faithful, and his promises are there to help us in the seasons of waiting and watching. What a blessing this study has been!!! Sharing it with my sisters!
Yay!! I LOVE that!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
