one thing i've learned & continue to learn: this life is not mine own or about our version of the end result but joyfully & painfully about the transformation process

why hello october! so lovely to see you

fall and spring are my favorites so this time of year just puts a smile on my fave. i usually don't anticipate one particular month in Fall b/c there's just so much goodness contained in the season but this year, i couldn't wait to see the calendar turn to october.

since around mid-august, i've had several exciting events booked for october:
1)wednesday i leave for a mission trip to san francisco to be a part of the launch of epic church. this trip is w/ my sunday school class & i couldn't be more stoked about getting some days to put work aside and just serve in an unfamiliar city on a mission trip of this type w/ some sweet friends. we'll be returning to alabama on monday after helping w/ the first service sunday. please be praying for our trip and the epic church staff. check out their website here: www.epicsf.com
2) the weekend right after i return, the entire mabry family will be journeying to tuscaloosa for the alabama/ole miss football game. i'm excited to have some time w/ my family & w/ the crimson tide
3) the next weekend, i'll start out spending some quality time w/ my core group...7 eighth grade girls whom i get to discuss Christ and the Word w/ each sunday...we're going to hang friday night & then participate in a service project saturday morning. THEN alana & i will head to memphis saturday afternoon since we're going to see wicked sunday w/ the parents. alana's never seen memphis or wicked so they'll be lots to sightsee in a short amt of time
4) halloween/dressing up/pumpkin carving w/ the girls

what makes all of this so much better is the fact that it truly feels like fall should outside...i hope it stays this way b/c i love it!

can't wait to share about all of these especially the ways the Lord works through san francisco and core weekend!
