Spring? Summer?

Wow it is September. Where did the spring and summer go? It went by in a blink of an eye. I can't say I did much in those seasons. And now I regret not doing enough. I will no longer get that time back. I will just have to strive to make the most of the new time the Lord has given me. I think it's time to sit down and write down some goals and seek the Lord for direction. Also, I need to schedule more. I find myself running around too much. I also want to start a journal for each child and journal every night about their daily activities. Discipline that's what it boils down to. Discipline! It's so hard when my B.C. days were so undisciplined. I never had to answer to anyone, I could do what I wanted, I had no real responsibilities except paying bills.
A new season is approaching, Fall! A time to harvest my heart. Pluck out the selfish things in my heart. And pull out the good things that were planted and learn from them and grow in them.
On another note, i'm excited to decorate for fall. I can smell the pumpkins and apples already. I feel so blessed to have been able to grow up in a place where I did experienced each season. I can actually close my eyes and feel the crispness in the air and picture all the leaves starting to change color and actually smell fall. But there was always a little sadness of summer ending. I am grateful for each season I am in. Praise the Lord for He is good!
