Those Autumn Leaves

I thought I'd better get this in before we reach winter!

I'm a spring/summer girl, but I must admit there's something about autumn that I love...

I think it's the autumn leaves. 

Maybe it's the colours. 

Or the way the leaves fly in the air at the gushing winds.

I’m thinking….

Those leaves were once green, you know, and so full of life, but even nature recognises that in order for a tree to grow it needs to let go of what it has, it needs to let go of everything it has worked for, it needs to lose....

But only for a time. 

I remember reading "Every leaf must fall, to make way for a brighter tomorrow."

Now, I know what I love about Autumn!

Those autumn leaves illustrate the profound lesson that seasons come and seasons go…

There have been seasons in my own life where I have prayed for God to remove me from a certain point and bring me to a different one…I just couldn’t understand why the Lord had kept me there so long.

As in nature, so it is in life…every season is purposeful, every season is crucial.

Therefore I must embrace the lessons God is trying to teach me in my current season, instead of constantly wishing for the next or for “something else”.

Although I love spring, summer, blossoming flowers and bright skies…When that season changes and it turns to autumn….

I choose those autumn leaves.

What exactly is she choosing?


Life, growth and….total surrender. 




Love, your girl forever,
