Fire

Fires bring a safe, comforting feeling for me. They represent my favorite time of the year, which is right now, the beginning of fall.

Tonight has surrounded me with fire. After we got home from our day, Kelli and I put on our sweats and walked down to a nice, delicious restaurant, Mazzi's, with our buy one get half off coupon. We get there and they seat us next to the fire place, setting the mood of the perfect date in sweats. The food was incredible, I'm pretty sure I finished mine before Kelli even took her first bite. But the feeling sitting there in the restaurant just brought me such joy. I was comforted by this fire next to me, the crisp air on our walk, and the great company with me that life was going to be okay. That the decision and progress with my life are in the right direction and that things are going to work out and be good. Life isn't going anywhere, it's only just beginning.

After dinner, we got home and joined our other roommate Abbey, got a fire going (picture above) and had a bible study. We decided that through this school year as a whole we're going to read through the New Testament, and this was the first week into it and I know already how much of a blessing it's going to be in my life. Being able to question and discuss and comfort each other through God and through our lives is exactly what I need this year.

Fire, Fall, Friendship, Family ---- Life is good.
