It's starting to feel a lot like Fall

This morning, I stepped outside & felt the chill of the sweet September air.
I can't believe it's already September. Time seems to rush by these days. I do look forward to the brisk weather: time to wear light jackets & scarves & walk through the red, orange & yellow leaves that layer the ground. My absolute favorite time of year!

Only 4 days left until Fall Kick-off & 5 days left until QPZA '09. It's approaching so quickly. The new building looks insane...I can't believe I've been a part of this church & have watched it grow from 2000-now. From the teeny auditorium at Dennis Drive to an auditorium with a HUGE screen & seating for 2,400 people. It's insane.

And I'll be assistant producing the weekends...sitting up front holding a white board helping with transitions-a role that I'm only now starting to feel the weight of & understand it's importance. I'm kind of in awe that I'm being trusted with this.

And on top of that, I get to say yes to being on the core lead team for Fused, leading the production...which is basically Wednesday night youth services. I'll be leading people...like our worship leader & tech leader. It's wild to me what Brad sees in me & sees Jesus doing in me. When I can't see it myself, it's neat to hear it from someone else. Even when I'm not choosing great, I'm shown grace & love.

It feels like this fall is a huge jump all over the place. Dusty said yes to stage managing on the weekends...which could mean we don't ever get to sit in a service together. That makes me a little sad, but Jesus knows just what He's doing. And I love that Dusty is getting to serve in this role...that makes me very happy!

It's still hard seeing couples all around me getting engaged & married, and hearing from Dusty that it feels like our relationship has hit a plateau; is stagnant. Why aren't we growing? I guess that's a question we both need to ask Jesus.

Anyway. Here's to Fall.
