Today I am linking up with Casey over at CASEYLEIGH ...
If you have not been fortunate enough to visit her blog I suggest
you do immediately. She is one of those writers who writes with
such transparency she probably doesn't realize how many hearts
she is touching after she has finished pouring out.
And that, my friends, is my type of writer ;).
This is the beautiful MUCH LOVE, ILLY. She is also hosting this
amazing feature where we all just sort of play "FIND NEW BLOGS
TO FOLLOW IN FALL" for a day. I'm excited to be able to meet some
of these amazing womens followers because I love Illys blog. She
is always fun, optimistic and just refreshing. lol GO OVER and make friends.
(Seriously.. she has like plenty of links to amazing blogs on her page too.)

I was thinking over the topic of this lovely link up.
What can I say about FALL. A season that has become so
dear to me so suddenly.
You see, I was once a summer girl.
I am still an adorer of summer. Born and raised in Cali
it just comes with the territory.
But 2 years ago I began an affair with Fall.
I danced with it at night and breathed in its scent
during the afternoon.
The beauty of change just takes my breath away at times.
Driving down the streets of beautiful Orange County with
only shadows of the sun reflecting upon the changing
and fallen leaves set upon our lovely green landscape....
It just warms me.
I'll find myself driving and just not thinking about
anything other than praising the Lord. For His amazing
reflection throughout creation.
And then there is my life in Fall.
All seasons, I believe, bring about some life change
as well. Usually minor to the eye...
But Fall.
It brings me so much change. So much new growth...
I look back on last Fall...
I was a mess. Transitioning out of a relationship.
Wondering how I was ever going to go a day without
crying.
And Gods grace just took over and carried me into
Winter and Spring and Summer.
And here I am.
Completely over that relationship.
And in this amazing new life of becoming open
And in this amazing new life of becoming open
once again to love and all the risks that are
involved. I never thought I'd even be thinking
of being willing to meet someone new. I truly
thought I was going to die having loved the wrong
person for two years and never again.
God is so gracious...
Fall is that season that we need. We don't know
much we need it though until we have arrived back
at it again. And then we see just how much beauty
it has for us... And we close our eyes and pray
to hold on to it for just a day longer...
Or at least, I do.
blessings!
