Jeremiah 29:11
āāFor I know the plans I have for you,ā declares the Lord. āPlans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.āā
It is hard to know what will happen in our life and sometimes itās scary to think about how we lack that knowledge. But God has said He has great plans for us. He knows what will happen and it is our job to trust and obey Him.

Hebrews 6:19
āWe have this anchor for the soul, firm and secure.ā
Faith can be a tricky thing. āDo I really believe in this? I canāt see God. Is He really there?ā These thoughts pass through everyoneās minds at least one point in time. Faith is a huge jump. But the outcome is amazing. Faith can move mountains. We just need to challenge it and figure out what we truly believe.
Joshua 1:9
āHave I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.ā
I think itās easier to say we all get a little fearful in life. Not everything goes as planned and it shakes us up. But itās important to remember who weāre living for and why. If weāre too afraid to do what God has commanded us to do, we might not get to this place where He needs us to be. He wonāt fail us. He wonāt leave us. Instead of focusing on fear, try to focus on trusting Him. I know itās hard, but trusting Him brings us one step closer to Him and where we need to be. And in the end, it will lead to a remarkable gift.
Exodus 14:14
āThe Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.ā
God will never leave us nor forsake us. He is there for us in every little moment of every day. He cares for us and loves us and wants us. Itās always difficult to sit still and let God do His work, especially in a really tough time where we think we can handle things. But the truth is, we canāt. Not without Him.

Luke 1:45
āBlessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!ā
This is an amazing reminder to be still and trust in God. He has blessed us and sometimes we take it for granted without realizing it. We need to trust that He will fulfill the promises He has given us. If we take a step back and look at the whole picture, we will realize He has been there for every little thing. He is there and wants us to hear Him. If we believe with all our heart that God will forever and always be there for us, then we will be able to trust Him. What is a better gift there than God? Let go and let God.
Psalm 61:2
āFrom the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.ā
We all grow weak and weary. We need rest and faith that whatever we are going through, God will guide us. When weāre overwhelmed, itās easy to shut our emotions off. But instead, we should give it to God. That doesnāt mean give it to Him and forget about it and think it is no longer our problem. Give it to Him and continually pray for it. Ask Him to guide us to that rock and help us defeat this trial.

Matthew 6:34
āTherefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.ā
It is easy to worry and focus on the things going wrong rather than the things going right. When we worry, we are draining ourselves, leaving us tired and weary. And that is exactly what the devil wants. He whispers in our ears all the negative aspects of a day, which can easily lead to anxiety and worry. Be strong and try to focus on the positive things. Itās better to focus on at least one positive thought amongst a thousand negative ones instead of focusing wholly on the negative.
2 Corinthians 5:7
āFor we walk by faith, not by sight.ā
Faith is built on trust and love, even if we canāt see anything. In some cases, we might not think God is there simply because we canāt see Him. But He is there. We just need help looking at the bigger picture. Having faith isnāt something we say to try and convince ourselves that God is real and alive. It means we are taking a leap into this world, His world, even if we donāt know all the information. Itās okay to doubt sometimes, just as long as it doesnāt keep you from believing in our Savior. Faith is a heart thing. Why say we have a faith when deep down we know we donāt? We need to take that leap and remember that God will be there to catch us. He always has and always will.

Anything greater than zero is a good night.
Honestly a lot like being hit by a taxi.
The perfect apology for any injustice, really.
IT'S FINE I'M FINE EVERYTHING'S FINE.
PopTarts, Spaghetti, Marshmallows, Candy Cornā¦.and Syrup.
Works like a charm.
LIAR.
A very angry elf.
Sheer, paralyzing panic.
*Pours in a bottle of syrup for the extra sugar boost.*
Only the essentials.
#NailedIt.
*Faceplant, broken limb, sadness.*
*Cries*
Now go take a nap and stress-eat some Christmas Cookies. Youāve earned it.
The scenery changes from green leaves to orange, red, and yellow. The atmosphere brightens from the color change but dulls from the fog. It is a peaceful medium.

Sweaters and long sleeves are starting to be worn without dying from the heat. However, shorts are still wearable without your legs freezing. Throw on shorts and a long sleeve shirt and youāll feel comfortable in what you're wearing all day.

Football is one of the best sports in the Fall. The tailgates create a closer community and the games bring students together while they cheer on their favorite teams. All in all, they create a lot of memories for everyone.

The air gets so cool, the wind is crisp all making long walks bearable. If you walk at night, youāve probably seen a harvest moon - it is the best looking moon ever. The sky is clear and the moon is orange as if a pumpkin was sitting in the sky.

Apple Picking is one of the most fun activities to do with a group of friends, your family, or even on a date. Another great fall activity is carving pumpkins. I remember when my brothers and I would sit at our kitchen table and carve pumpkins the day before Halloween. It was always so much fun.

When fall rolls around so do the holidays that follow: Halloween is right around the corner and then Thanksgiving is next, the day where you can eat as much as you want without being judged. However, always remember the meaning behind this holiday. While you shove food in your face, remember to be thankful.

As the cool weather begins, the colds and allergies follow in its track. No one likes being sick especially in such a great season. Allergies are definitely a con.

During Fall, there is nice crisp weather in the morning then as the day goes on it gets hotter and hotter. At night, it is very cold compared to earlier that day. The weather fluctuates too much which makes choosing an outfit pretty difficult.

This is a chore that is not fun for anyone. Once you have all of the leaves picked up, you want to jump in the pile, spreading out the leaves again just so you can jump back in. It is torturous cycle.

Winter is without a doubt my least favorite season. I get cold very fast and I donāt like it. During fall I can bear the cold weather because it is not completely freezing, itās coolā thereās a difference.
