My visit to Pittsburgh, PA.

This past weekend I was in Pittsburgh, PA. visiting/"meeting" my pen pals of 13 years. It took us thing long to get together, and i'm so glad we did! The Feltovich family has mastered the gift of hospitality. They blessed me SO much, in every little and big thing, I felt like I was at a Bed and Breakfast!

They surprised me with a delicious vegan apple pie, with a smiley face! :-)
They were so sweet to take me into Pittsburgh, some cute shops and beautiful views!

Wonderful laughter, the most delicious gourmet meals, Christian fellowship, perfect weather, God is SO good! :-)

Oh, the sweetness of a new Season~

Today was the first day in awhile its actually felt like it was almost November. This morning started rather odd. I was wearing my slippers, it was pouring rain, slippery steps, i'm late, its dark, i'm carrying a gym bag on one shoulder, my gigantic water bottle on top of a mesh of things, and then it happened...The bag caught on a railing, throwing me backwards for a second, all my stuff goes flying, except the bag, I then slide down the stairs, the slippers not helping much, my water bottle is now near empty. I just came home from the chiropractor by the way! :-)

However, it feels like that was another day.

Driving through beautiful foliage...reds. greens. yellow. orange. It is beautiful.

I have not had coffee for a good 5 months, with one exception at the Thomases before going into the sauna. I wouldn't particularly recommend that. Well, today I had a whole two cups! It was delightful at the time. hahaha :)

Crisp air, clear skies after alot of rain.

There is something about a new season I love. A change. A new beginning. Room for growth. Reason to see beauty through trials. The ability to learn from the past season and share its lessons with the one to come.

So, my friends, as you enjoy your favorite bowl of soup, or tea...Be warmed to know that God wastes nothing. Live this season to the fullest. And be blessed in Christ.

I have thrown a mix match of photo's, as well as a very wonderful visit to the Chancey's home in Birmingham, Alabama. God is SO good :-)
So I have finally set up a blog...It certainly took long enough! Thank You Tiffany for the brilliant idea and help :-)

Fall in Bucks County is really beautiful about now. I can't believe how warm it is.

I just returned home from Texas, and had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people. The happily married and very sweet new Voeller couple so kindly helped get me to Doug Phillips' church on Sunday. The Wakefields were so kind to open their home to me, and it was a real blessing to join a small group prayer for Korea. It's neat how God has you in certain places at certain times. He really put Korea on my heart, and I was moved by the sure presence of the Holy Spirit in that room.
I can't believe the speed limit in that state! The weather is gorgeous! I just loved the River Walk, especially the Italian restaurant with the talented Mexican sombrero musicians! The Alamo experience was complete with a cactus introduction, and I feel a bit more educated in it's history.
I was very blessed to get to know the Samurill (s.p.?) family from Louisiana. Elizabeth and I had such a wonderful time getting to know one another. I miss her already, and I hope their trip home was a good one!

Warm Autumn wishes to ya'll! (please can I say that, considering my more frequent trips down south:-)
