It's fall, y'all, as they say here in the South. I have not yet had my fair share of everything pumpkin spice, but October is coming to an end. Join me, Jennifer, and others as we share our slice of "Share Four Somethings", October edition. 

Check out my 1 Second Everyday video for September. 

Something Loved: Time with family 2 weekends in a row! Our youngest came home for her birthday and fall break. So, we spent some time on her birthday celebrating in Columbia, TN. Then the next weekend, our oldest came home for some meetings. It's always good to spend time together.

Something that Went Well: Enjoying our Sundays of rest! The first Sunday we had off, we were able to see the Sandi Patty Tribute Concert at the Nashville Schermerhorn Symphony Hall. So many artists: Travis Cottrell, Natalie Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman,Taranda Green singing all of Sandi's greatest hits. It was a wonderful evening of songs, videos from her past, and live tributes sharing how she has allowed God to use her to impact others' lives. I realized that her songs were part of my "soundtrack" through middle school, high school, and college. I sang many of her songs in church, too. It was truly a worshipful and uplifting evening, and I was so glad we were able to attend! 

Something I let go of/am learning: that I can't do everything that I once did. I just don't have the capacity in my body and mind that I did when I was younger. Last week, I got my first pneumonia shot ever, and I had a bit of a reaction to it. I became dizzy off and on for about 12 hours. Thankfully, it was mostly overnight, so I was still able to go to work, but I wasn't feeling 100%. I listened to my body, ate some extra protein, and tried to stay hydrated. Later the next day, I felt more like myself.

At other times, I also feel like I don't have the mental capacity to do everything either. However, during my time with the Lord recently, I realized that I'm allowing certain things (like social media scrolling and phone game playing) to crowd out things that would be better for me. I trust that in the next few weeks, as I seek Him, I will have the capacity, both mentally and physically, to do all that He has called me to do. 

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need." Matthew 6:33 NLT
