I\u2019m still wearing white even though it\u2019s September. Yes, I know the \u201crule\u201d that white goes back in the closet after Labor Day, but who made that rule anyway? Fashion police? Grandma\u2019s neighbor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truth is, these days the only faux pas is not being yourself. White-white may rotate out, but winter white aka ivory, and \u201cwear whatever makes you smile\u201d are in year-round. So, be YOU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall will be here — officially — on September 22nd, but according to the store email in my inbox titled, \u201cFall in Love with Fall”, it’s already here! And, I plan to make the most of my favorite time of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
School is back in session, football season has kicked off. It’s still hot here in Austin, and the leaves haven’t gotten the memo yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But change is coming. Soon the sweaters will be pulled out, flip-flops traded for boots, and summer will bow out to make room for fall. I\u2019ll admit it: I\u2019m ready for the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t it incredible how God designed our world? He could have made Earth tilt-free, stuck in one endless season. But instead, He gave us variety: spring blossoms, summer sun, fall colors, winter coziness. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, \u201cThere is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yet, while we may welcome the changing seasons outside, the seasons of life? That\u2019s another story. We grip tightly to what\u2019s familiar, fearful of change. But just as the tilt of the earth has a divine design, so do the tilts and turns in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of it this way: We live in a \u201cMaster Planned Life.\u201d Our Creator, the ultimate Designer and Developer, has designed every season \u2014 not to harm us, but to grow us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So maybe instead of dreading change, we could lean in. Enjoy it. Even laugh in it. Because whether we\u2019re in flip-flops or boots, summer or winter, God is in the season \u2014 and that\u2019s what makes it beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
