change of seasons

We are so excited for fall around here! I can't wait for the leaves to start changing and for the weather to get cooler. I love the change of seasons because it reminds me of the change of seasons in life that we all go through. It also reminds me of the Lord's perfect plan and purpose (whoa I just used some alliteration in there haha) for our lives. Though our family is in a crazy and quite exhausting (at times) season, I have complete trust that the Lord will see us through! He has been our stronghold and place of refuge the past year. Joel has one more year of his master's! It seems so far away, but we know it will come if we fall on the Lord one day at a time. He has given us so much to be thankful for. Here are some pictures from our trip to the Louisburg Cider Mill last weekend where Lily got to see pumpkins, listen to music, and taste cider doughnuts!
