My favorite coffee drink.
That's what this blog is named after.
You can get it at Edgehill Cafe in Nashville, TN.
I've wished multiple times in the past week that I could make weekly(sometimes multiple times) visit.
I love the name.
Fall.
I can't believe it's here already.
Here's my attempt to bring Fall to the Sunshine State.

While Florida doesn't bring the sense of fall quite like Tennessee does, a season of change is here.
The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy for me.
I had my first day of work by myself. All of my patients were still living, and so was I at the end.(I guess that means it was a good day) :)
It still is surreal that I am a nurse and I am learning a lot each day, but I am slowly getting the hang of everything.
I completed another first this past week.
My first grad school paper & my first test.
I got an A on my first test so I was pleased. It's been a challenge but I'm so glad I'm working on a Masters.
Andrew and I went out of town for the weekend and I experienced my first college football game.
It was a blast!!
We spent Sunday in Orlando with some of our good friends, spent 2 hours in Bass Pro Shop (who knew it could be so fun?) and then off to Universal for the rest of the day!
I was thankful for our weekend away with good friends!
While this has been a season full of newness in what feels like every aspect of my life, I have been thinking a lot the last few days about the season 'Fall.
For me, fall is a season that not only represents newness but also preparation for the things to come. While I love palm trees, I sure do miss the beautiful leaves changing colors.
It's beautiful. nothing else like it to be honest.
Just as the seasons are changing, in my own life I really feel like this is a season of preparation.
For what? I wish I knew the answer to that question.
Just as I have mentioned in previous writings, I have realized now more than ever how much I compare myself to other people, their successes, situations, timing of circumstances, and the list is endless.
Comparing yourself to others never gets you anywhere.
As I have continued to work on this in my own life, I continue to realize that I am exactly where I need to be.
My desire to find contentment in where I'm at is one I pray for daily.
I don't want to miss what the Lord is preparing me for right now.
Maybe the fact that I don't know what's coming is the best part. (as much as I dread it most days)
As the Lord is continuing to refine my heart and life, I am finding so much joy in what is happening because of this.
I love this season.
In fact, it may be my favorite.
I have come to appreciate this time of change more than I ever thought I could.
God has continuously been showing me just how much He is in control.
With Every desire, worry, and important matter to me, He has shown me how much of a priority it is to Him.
Ecclesiastes 3 says it so well
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens..."
What is the Lord preparing you for right now?
I love this B. So good. I always enjoy hearing your heart. One of my favorites quotes is Comparison is the thief of Joy.
