Did I ever mention I really don’t care for fall?
Well, I guess I’m liking it a little more this year. And if I am, it’s gotta be due to the fun I’m having with all the church events and fun there has been lately!
Also, I need to say thanks to all of you who prayed and are praying. I am making some choices that, though the right ones (and I can tell because of the peace God is giving to me as I move forward), have created some painful situations and it would almost be easier to leave things as they have been. I know however, that that would be the wrong thing to do. Inaction is wrong at times. Being a very ‘pleaser type’ personality, I find it extremely difficult to make anyone feel anything negative. It’s not fun for them… or me.
With that said, I want to quote a line from the sermon I heard today that helps express my perspective on my future; “God does not mulitply mediocrity”.
me·di·oc·ri·ty(m
d-
k
r
-t)
n. pl. me·di·oc·ri·ties
- The state or quality of being mediocre.
- Mediocre ability, achievement, or performance.
- One that displays mediocre qualities.
mediocrity
n 1: ordinariness as a consequence of being average and not outstanding [syn: averageness] 2: a person of second-rate ability or value; “a team of aging second-raters”; “shone among the mediocrities who surrounded him”
OK, so raise your hand if you want to be mediocre! NOT!
With this as my mindset, I want to be willing to do and be anything and everything God has planned for me to do and be. This requires some refining of my life, like
the gold that has to endure the heat of the fire to become pure and clear. But you know, once it has been purged, that the refiner can look into it and see his image. - The state or quality of being mediocre.

Let the Holy Spirit guide you through the murky waters, and listen to that still small voice of God and not to man’s. It sounds like in your heart of hearts you already know what you must do, or not do. I wish you joy, Deb. And the peace that comes when you know you are smack dab in the middle of God’s plan for your life.
Oh, and I LOVE this album. Isn’t it great!?
How’s the new baby???

Fall is my favorite time of year…
((((
)))) Praying for you, Deb. I know I haven’t been around much, being off and on the internet, etc.. but you do have my prayers.
Thankful you’re feeling connected at your church and enjoying fall a little better this year. Historically it’s been a delightful time of year for me. Although the last few autumns have taken their toll on my enjoyment level! Seems like things just took a turn or something!
At any rate.. may God grant you the desires of your heart. May He lead you to His peace, His grace and His comfort and may He also lead those you love.
