A horrible day for a CUBS fan

So, if it wasn't bad enough that the White Sox clinched the title last year, it only got worse last night. The most horrible nightmare came true last night as the Cardinals claimed the title as World Champs. I am not sure if it could be any worse. After a year of Sox fans claiming they are champs, the pattern will now continue with the Cardinal fans. I love my friends that are Cardinal fans but they are not quiet about their love for their Cards... It will be a painful year....

Surely next year will be our year right?

Maybe we are like the trees

I have to admit, there is no better time of the year. I don't really know what it is about fall but there is something about it that just puts me in a good mood. I love when the weather begins to get a little on the chilly side and the leaves begin to change color. I love to have campfires, seeing pumpkins, and fall colors.

Aside from just the season being great, I feel like this has been a season of growth in my own life. I feel like there are so many different things that I am learning and changing about who I am. It feels good to walk through a season of life and begin to celebrate the journey that God has brought you on. Just as the fall leaves are changing, I believe God does the same with our hearts. I wonder if while I look at the trees and admire their beauty during the fall, God looks at our hearts and sees something similar?

Hard to be far away

I am realizing tonight how it is hard to be far away from the ones you love. My little nephew, Kyle, is struggling to get healthy and I wish more than anything I could be with him. It is hard to sit back and realize that the only thing we can do is pray a ton and wait for the next update. I would give anything to bring blue bunny to the hospital and make this little bundle of joy let out his giggle. You will be home before you know it Kyle but until then Aunt Debbie will be praying. 

Well, it is my official last day in my mid-twenties. I will now move up an age category and join the late twenties group. I am not doing well with the change. Before my very eyes, I am growing up and yet there is still so much of me that feels like I am still a little kid.
Over the past couple of months, I feel like I have been on a journey like never before. I am trying to discover this woman that God has created me to be. It is a journey that has me praying about careers, praying about future plans, praying about thoughts, feelings and emotions and a journey that has me trying desperately to figure out the grand purpose of it all.
As horrible as 27 sounds, I believe it is going to be a good year. A year of new beginnings, and new discoveries. Bring it…
