Fall has arrived.

There's just no time like October: friends, football, cool weather, and pumpkin spice coffee!! There's something about the fall that makes me happy. Something that just radiates beauty. It's still a bit too early for the leaves to change, but that's coming, and soon it will be fall break and Thanksgiving. Even in the midst of two mid-terms, a completely terrifying Memorandum Discussion for Legal Analysis Research and Writing, and all of the other daily business, it's so beautiful. Something about going to the library seems invigorating and heading to class in the morning exciting...I'm going to assume it's the 60 degree weather! It's helpful too that i'm starting to find my rhythm here at law school and in VA. The other day, a few friends and went to the beach after class to toss around the volleyball and swim, and today I got to hear a great concert with a few friends at CBN's 50th anniversary celebration. It's been great to get out of the library and feel like a real person- that doesn't happen often! My days usually consist of going to the library, class, the library, class, the library again, and then maybe a run before heading back to the library, if i'm lucky. God is so good and so faithful. It seems to me that many law students think that if you're not stressed out, you're not working hard enough. God is teaching me that when we give our assignments and work to God and we do the best we can, He makes us prosper, and He provides the increase of time, energy, and relief. He is Jehovah Jireh!

So, yay for fall. Thank you Jesus for the trees and the leaves, for football, friends, and for pumpkin spice coffee!
