October Favorites {personal}

Ah! It is Monday! I have been so excited for today. I couldn't wait for the weekend to leave so Monday would come. {bet y'all haven't heard that before.....} Why? Because I don't have anymore work shifts before vacation, AND it is the day before the day before vacay. ;D Not only that, I can wear my cranberry nail polish and don my new AE skinny jeans. Yes! It is a lovely Monday.

Plus - I get to sit in a coffee shop and blog. There is something really fun about drinking a hot latte, people watch, and listen to some of my favorite music.

As I look over the past month, so much has happened - and I have so many diverse favorites! How do I describe what has happened and what I've done and experienced???

Many of my days saw me driving to the library with my older brother. We would study together for a couple hours and blast country music on the way home - laughing and singing loud because the SCHOOL DAY was DONE! Many days also saw me out and about. I did as many out-doorsy things as I possibly could. October was the month of amazing colors, millions of snowflakes, soft rain, and fallen leaves. MMmmm: Colorado weather! God has placed me in the middle of paradise.

Anyway - I have alot of "ties" for my favorites. But 2 favs isn't a bad thing. {at least I like to tell myself....}

The Challenge for me this month was not to get worried. Worried about my school, life, or money. I have been learning the meaning of Trusting  God. I remind myself that He is the One who brings me fulfillment, and nothing else. He is my Joy, and He makes me Smile. {Psalm 9:10; 37:5; 91:2 -  Proverbs 3:5; 16:20 - Isaiah 2:22; 12:2 - Jeremiah 17:5, 7 - Nahum 1:7}

Well, I am leaving for Florida the day after tomorrow! I am really looking forward to waking up to the sound of the ocean. :) Toodloo - and see y'all when I get back.
