Sign of the Time

I think that Autumn has finally arrived in glory
it's starting to look golden, beautifully intricate treasures
falling falling to the ground.
the sunshine peaking through masses of clouds,
melting away the cold damp
and turning the world (here) into more of a warm haven inbetween summer's heat and winter's chill.

Life is a strange desire lately --
trying to plan to go away, and EVERYONE seeming to care all of a sudden about
'where' we're going ,
and 'oh, how brave you are' are contrasted with those,
not so glowing statements of
'wow, supposed to be pretty hard to get a visa now', and 'hmmm, well, good luck to ya.' 's
it's really beginning to show, who our REAL friends are,
those who truly care about our wellbeing, with gentle encouragement, kind words, and loving prayers,
and those who are just jealous, or angry in their own worlds,
too shallow and sinking into their own mire.

I know, I may seem sort of 'trite' in my own description of this...it's a pretty interesting predicament, and one, I think only those who have wagered their lives and uprooted for the sake of following God's lead and adventure, would understand.

There is alot of praying to be done yet ... and alot of battles to be fought and won ... in time, we will be all the more wise, and all the more closer to God.
