Happy and blessed!

Don't you feel it?  Smell it? Even taste it? 

Pause. Wait, before I go any farther, maybe I better explain what this *IT* is, especially to all of you who may not know what I am talking about. Okay, to get down to the point, I am talking about:  

F.a.l.l

Who would have known? ;) The crisp-beautiful air, colorful leaves, and beautiful weather is making me so excited!!(among other things). Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. Why? Because the top reason would be the weather. Oh boy, oh boy! You talk about 60 degree weather, where everything feels so grand... making you feel light as a bird.

Sometimes I'm close to saying that fall is my all time favorite season. But, it just hasn't reached that far yet.  Because once in awhile fall seems dreary, other times loving it, but wishing I didn't have to stay inside doing School work. Also, It makes me miss the sunshine. Birds singing. Cheerful bright skies. For instance, if you were to look out our window as of right now, you would see no sun. No blue sky. No flowers. And just a bunch of dead leaves. Sounds quite deathlike, doesn't it?

But, the weather report would argue, due to the fact its getting ready to rain. cough.





Okay, so those are the reasons that make me miss my beautiful Summer. BUT, if you crossed all of that out: I absolutely L.O.V.E fall! I love the beautiful leaves, piling them up into big heaps of piles, and jumping straight into the mound. I love the cool weather. It means winter is around the corner. Many events coming up. And it allows more outdoor activities. Etc.

So yeah, you might say there are two different sides of the story... at least, on my part.  There are always some ups and downs about each month. Winter can sometimes be too cold. Summer can be tremendously HOT! Spring, it rains way too much. Etc. BUT, the good thing is; I don't let any of those gloomy aspects of each season get me down-- or I should say: overrule the pleasurable things about each season.

I like every season. Each season is part of God's creation, and I could name at least *something* I like about each one. (Usually its more!) So pretty much, every season is my favorite. Each one has something to enjoy, and I LOVE IT!!


 
Tuesday was our first day of School. That word has never exactly been my favorite word to pronounce, and usually its forbidden, but these first two days have been pretty good. I have a ton of subjects this year, so you would probably think that I am sad about it. BUT, I am not. No way, not even an ounce.  It just means I get to learn that much more, leaves me with something to do, and my subjects just aren't all that bad this year. Also, must I mention I'd be considered in the 11th grade? So yep, you said it. ONE MORE YEAR! Er, sorta. One more year till I'm in 12th, and about to graduate. winks

Down below is the picture of my School books for this year. No foolin. 


As you guessed it, School has taken up more of my time. We moved. School is starting. There are many upcoming events. I'm quite happy!  SO much has been happening in my life of late. But you know, a lot of it has been all good. I'm so happy right now, and entirely blessed with God's goodness! We serve the most awesome father in all of the world. And you wanna know something? God doesn't just answer the small things in life. If you ask for something big, he may say wait awhile, but sooon, if its in God's will, he will answer it... and be totally amazed at the wonderful miracle he has just performed in your life.


I'm so glad to be blogging again, I've missed you guys! Leave me a comment, and let me know what has been going on with you! .... and have a simply marvelous day, rejoicing in the goodness of our Lord! <3

Uhm... Fall? Oh yes, autumn! We're Spring here in Australia (soooo exciting)! I love autumn too and just about all the seasons of the year, because in everything I can see God's beautiful wonder of Creation... :).

Lovely post, Grace! God bless!

Grace said...

Oh, sorry dear. I never call it autumn, it's always fall to me. Hehe ;) I'm so glad you have such beautiful fall days! What's the weather like there as of right now?!?

Thanks so much, Joy! Might I mention, I LOVE your name? And so love having you here! :) Have a beautiful day and God bless!

Rachel said...

Oh I'm ready for Fall too. You can really tell it here, it is 75 degrees out!

Amy said...

Hey Gracie!
We're beginning to get some lovely fall weather too! I just love fall-it's one of my four favorite seasons. ;D
We are launching our schoolyear...yay! AND we're taking two classes at a homeschool help place--public speaking and sewing! I'm so excited. They're really fun so far.
So, that's what I've been up to as of late...I was glad to read your post; I haven't been online much at all recently and I miss you!
Love,
Amy

Rachel: Sweet, that sounds like good weather to me. I love 70 degree weather!

Amy: Hey girl! I have really missed you too. I shall be getting you an email done today, so sorry it took me so long, I have LOADS to tell. But I did send you a letter, did you not receive it? So glad your having wonderful weather!

Have a wonderful day girls! =)

Hey Grace,
Hahaha... I know, I know... I'm doing ACE (School of Tomorrow) home-schooling and it being American, they always say "FALL" instead of Autumn! My, I get so angry, LOL! The weather here (spring) is quite hot already and on most days sunny too, though at times we have quite a lot of stormy weather being in QLD.

Thanks, I am really blessed to have the name 'joy' and pray I always will be a joy to others and to the Lord and have 'joy' continually in my heart! I just LOVE your name too. My little sister's name is Grace as well so that's really funny.
God bless you too,
Love
Joy.
P.S. I am wondering if you got my invitation to view my blog yet?

Grace said...

Yes, Joy, I did get your invitation, and I thank you for sending it to me. I *did* get a chance to take a look at your blog, and it's quite lovely. Lately I have been busier than all get out, so I didn't have much time to view everything... But once everything starts settling down, I'd love to take a closer look. :)

Take care, and God Bless you! <3
