{Fall Whispers In...}

...the cool mornings and nights,

...nature coming to life-breathing,

...faint whisper of wind chimes in the distance,

...sweet and savory smell of BBQ in the air,

...light dancing of the tractor wheel,

...pumpkin Roll candles,

...leaves every so slightly changing their hues,

...pumpkins,

...sounds of football in the air,

...bike rides,

...orchards,

...the neighbor hood alive, breathing in its last breaths before the cold, winter air.

...Thankful for all these.

The time to slow down and be.

How does fall whisper to you?

{Whispers of Fall...}

Hello friends!

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend.

If you are just joining us I'd like to share an inspirational journey with you...

...A Journey 5 friends and I shared the last two weeks...

A Journey that is still being lived.

This weekend was full of crafting, sewing, and time with family celebrating my dad's birthday.

Happy Birthday Dad!

I've taken on some new projects and it is full speed ahead.

I caught myself not finding time for rest this weekend and getting run-down that is...

until Sunday evening...

I remembered this post that God had laid on my heart and put it into practice.

It was hard for me to slow down, to be still, knowing how much has to be done.

But once I did...

I could hear the whispers of fall.

What are the whispers of fall you ask?

Well...

You'll have to come back tomorrow to find out. ;)

Until then..

Enjoy this picture of fall inspiration from my Pinterest board.

I just love this idea for my entry way this year.

How do you like to decorate for fall?

Any great resources you would like to share??

For His Glory,

Cole

In the Stillness...{Thoughtful on a Tuesday}

I hope you are having a beautiful day!

I have so much I want to do, create, and share with you, but I've been fighting some gall bladder and kidney issues. {Not major serious, but enough to make it hard.}

Would you mind joining me in prayer for healing and provision to take care of what needs to be?

Thank you so very much...

I previously wrote this post a few weeks ago during a snow storm. It was in the stillness and quiet that God spoke so loudly. 

We don't have any snow right now, but it is...

cold enough for coats in the morning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wind howls, branches scrape the side of the house. Blowing, icy, snow whips through the air threatening to take the breath of everything it touches. Moonlight bounces off the ice covered trees. Bitter cold continually tries to creep in.

Power out.
Stillness.
Quiet.
Not a sound.

Flames of candles dance across the room in splashes of light.

Safe.
Warm.
At peace...

...in the shelter of my home, in the warmth of my comforter.

God Speaks...

In the stillness, the quiet, He is there.
In the cold, the wind, He prevails.

God Speaks...

...of His peace in the storm.
...of light shined in the darkness.
...of love and warmth in the cold.

You can not escape it...
...His Presence.

You can not deny it...
...His Love.

In the stillness He is there.

"Be still and know that I am God."
{Psalm 46:10}

It is in the power of the storm...
...God speaks loudest in a quiet voice.

Whatever your storm may be.
Whatever "cold" threatens to creep in.

HE. IS. THERE.
...shinning light for you to see.

How does God speak to you?

Lovely Wishes for a Beautiful Day!
Cole
