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.

Going Back To Basic

So life is starting to change a lot around the house here. We're going back to the basics here.

Cable TV - Gone Cell Phones - Gone

I hate to say it but I did cry when Josh had our cell phones turned off. I have had my own phone for 10+ years and I thought that I couldn't live without it. But after some thinking and praying God started to show me some things.

Not only are my husband and I going back to the basic in culture things but in our relationship with Him. Back to serving in any ministry that needs help, not just what we want to do or think we'd look cool doing. Back to prayer and reading the word. Back to worshiping Him in all things thru all things. Back to a deep passion to see the lost saved and accomplish what He has called us to do. Reach the world.

I know this was pretty simple, but maybe we should all get back to the basics and forget about trying to keep up with today's culture. After all, aren't we suppose to be different?
