Fall, it is a friendly and beautiful reminder that change is in the air, not just in the leaves but also in my life. I have never been a big lover of fall until I moved to BC, coming from Alberta fall is a very short season somewhere between summer and snow. The tree's only seem to get a short chance to reveal their beauty before the snow and frost arrive to turn everything from colours of orange and gold to a depressing brown that lasts until about the end of April. But fall in BC is a gorgeous event that lasts a good month or more. I have never really appreciated fall until these past three years.
My recommendations for fall in BC is walking down 6th ave in Vancouver in Kitsilano between Yew and Trafilager. Keremos near Pentiction and see the pumpkin patch and walk through a apple orchard. Drive around the Skaha in Pentiction or take a trip to Naramata and dip your toes in the cold Okanagen water. These have been my favorite places so far.
The trees are not the only things changing though right now, my life is changing as slow as the trees in BC.
It's funny because I want my life to hurry up and get where it's going, because living homeless at my mom's with all of my belonging's in a trailer in storage is starting to get to me.
Today though I think I am learning that I need to just sit back and enjoy the slow change in my life. Enjoy the change along the way to where we are going. Maybe God is implementing slow change in my life so that I am able to take enough time to truly think and contemplate about where this change is actually taking me. I have a feeling that once I get there I am going to be thankful for this time I have had to wrap my mind around the destination God is bringing my family to. So today, I choose to be thankful for slow change.




I am on this journey, too. Enjoying the journey instead of looking to the destination. What I have noticed is that life all the sudden picks up, right when you really settled in to slowing down, and you can no longer believe the number of days that fly by together. It is a good lesson to learn, and definitely makes life more enjoyable.
