Our friend Paul (i think?!? gosh... dad's a preacher and bf is in div school... i should know this... but i im not 100% on this one....) anyway. our friends in Hebrews say

Faith is:

1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

The latter is my favorite definition of the word.

Anyway. Faith is a word i like a lot. OK... lots of people like it. but God is so faithful to me (and us all really) . He always has been- and always will be. i wear a bracelet on my left arm (since the summer of 06) that simply says FAITH. it reminds me everyday to keep my faith in the Lord. really. it does. i love my bracelet. and i love that word. that simple word is so powerful and mighty. and just one of my favs.

anyway. God IS faithful. he has answered my cry- and plea- (really. it was a plea). and.... drum roll....

i am working DAY SHIFT!!!!!!!!!!!

no nights for me!!! i mean. i have not even started nights- but pure dread at the thought has put me in a rotten mood at times and a truly scared mood. God knows what I can handle- and I feel like He knows how rotten of a person I would be if I were working nights.

So yes. we can all praise Jesus and be happy... bc He answered my prayers. i mean i feel so silly (and selfish)- there are so many terrible things in the world and ive been praying for my work schedule. other things too... but still. my work schedule. either way- GOD has answered my prayers and been faithful to me- yet again.

my faithfulness in Him just continues to grow.

like a pumpkin.

haha. what a segway.

i wanted to top off the post with some pictures from the pumpkin patch we went to last night.

before i begin those... some pumpkins do grow HUGE. ry and i were watching a show just the other night about the world's biggest pumpkins. Biggest one yet was like 1,670 pounds. yes one thousand. sooo crazy.

we didn't get any that big... but we did get some big ones, small ones, and i got a white one! we had a blast picking pumpkins in the FRIGID cold (its in the 30's here) then we carved them and drank some stellar homemade (by sir justin) apple cidar... mmm so good. and soo fun.

enjoy the pics!
