Butterflies In School

Another summer has pasted (way to fast by the way) and the fall is soon going to fall upon us. With it's colorful leaves, chilly wind and hoodies! But the fall brings one thing faithfully around the same time every year, THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!! And in these next couple of weeks school around the Kansas City area will be in full swing.

But does everyone remember the feeling you get the night before the first day and the first day when you are on your way to the school and stepping onto school ground? I remember them so well and I've been out of school for 4 years now.

I drive by a high school everyday on my way to work and it's first thing in the morning when the air is crisp and the sun is coming up. I remember that old smell and the feelings come rushing back and I remember the excitment of starting something new. And as much as I wish I could start a new school year, I know I'm starting a brand new chapter in my life. As a wife, mother, disciple, future missionary and person. And I'm excited about it! I love the feeling that I'm about to step into something new and unknown, but feels strangely familiar.

I guess I could of called this post "A New Chapter" but I wanted you to think of that old feeling of butterflies. And now I want you to find something that will give you those same butterfiles.
