harvest moon

so i can officially say its fall because there was a HUGE orange harvest moon in the night sky yesterday! all i could do was stare at it and be happy. that same moon would shine into my room and make it hard to sleep later on, but man, did it bring a moment of peace to a very chaotic life.

i'm used to being busy, and i'm used to not having much time to my self, that is not necessarily where the chaos is coming from. the chaos is something i'm feeling all around; in my daily life, my spiritual life and that which surrounds me that i can not control, such as the economy and the up-coming election... all of these areas are playing into my sense of chaos...

my daily life is in chaos because of updates being made to my house (new carpet, bathroom remodel, etc.) my spiritual life is in chaos because of things going on at my church and the on-going stuggle to follow my calling, and i suppose because of the state our country is in, i'm just feeling that all over...

life is going good though, its just i can't shake these feelings of chaos. so i'm going to keep praying, and i'm going to be glad its fall and enjoy my favoite season because there is so much to look forward to, and when the house is done its gonna be awesome and feel like a fresh start, so in the midst of this chaos, are good things to come, i just wish i could skip to the end! :)

thank goodness for constants like family and friends, those are the kinds of things that dont change when everything else seems to. i'm very thankful for those people in my life. with all the moving around i do people come and go, and i suppose that just makes the friends that are still around that much more special, even if they are spread all over the world.

so i'm thankful for a weekend, even though i'll probably be painting and helping to put the finishing touches on our bathroom... but at least my mind can rest... cuz come monday its all about the auction.
