It's Fall, Ya'll
Yep. That's right. It's finally here! The season for jackets, jeans, sweaters, and scarves. Woohoo!!! Here are some things I love about the Fall, or as some people say, Autumn.
* The fresh, cold, crisp air
* The vast varieties/shades of all the colors.
* The crunchy leaves
* No mosquitoes!
* The smell of smoke/campfire
* The new fashions for fall (this year is plaid,plaid,plaid,
scarves,animal print bags,cardigans and skinny jeans!)
* Knowing that God has given us yet another day, week,
month, and year, here on earth.
Sidenote: all the pictures shown here were taken by me, in my yard. :)

Who I am in Christ.
When life gets you down, look at this list. But before you do, just remember, no matter what people say or tell you- You are something. Something that has worth, and something that is valuable to God. True, you are nothing without Him. With Him you are "everything".
He made you just the way you are. And if you have Him, you can "live life to the fullest".
Life is rough. There's so much pressure- to fit in, to look this way or that, to be who the world says you should be, to have this or that, to make something of yourself. Just remember, no matter what people tell you, you are the beloved of God. You do have value.
No matter what you do, there's always forgiveness from Him. He wants you to come to Him with all you are and have. All the fears, tears, hurts, praise, joy-everything. He already knows what's on your heart, before you tell Him. But, being the kind and compassionate God He is, He wants to hear it from you. I'm telling you all this because it's something I've had to learn, and remind myself of. So, take a look at this list and jot it down.
Who Am I?
I am Significant
John 15:1,5 I am part of the true vine, a channel (branch) of Christ's life.
I Corinthians 3:16,6:19 I am a temple (home) of God. His Spirit dwells in me.
Ephesians 2:10 I am God's workmanship, created in Christ to do good works.
Ephesians 4:24 I am righteous and holy.
Colossians 3:4 I am an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 I am a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God that you may declare the praises of Him to who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.
1 Peter 5:8 I am born of God and the evil one (the devil) cannot touch me.
I am Accepted
John 1:12 I am a child of God. (part of HIs family)(see
Romans 8:16)
Romans 8:14,15 I am a son of God. (God is spiritually my Father) (see Galatians 3:26, 4:6)
1 Corinthians 12:27 I am a member (part) of Christ's body. (see Ephesians 5:30)
Galatians 4:6,7 I am an heir of God, since I am a son of God.
Ephesians 1:5 I have been adopted as God's child.
Ephesians 2:19 I am a fellow citizen with the rest of God's people in His family.
Colossians 3:12 I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved.
I am Secure
2 Corinthians 1:21,22 I have been annointed, receiving God's seal of ownership, and His Spirit is in my heart.
Colossians 1:14 I have been redeemed and forgiven of all my sins.
2 Timothy 1:7 I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power,love and a sound mind.
1 Peter 2:5 I am one of God's living stones and am being built up (in Christ) as a spiritual house.
1 Peter 2:11 I am an alien and stranger to this world, in which I temporarily live.
I am not the great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14, John 8:24,28,58), "but by the grace of God I am what I am."
