Fall, is my favorite!   I love all things cold, leaves changing, hot cocoa with big colorful marshmellows, friends, fires, and fellowship, big cute scarves, boots, pumpkins, hay rides, all of it I just love it.   Fall in college is all the more fun, because you have unlimited activities and plenty of awesome people to do them with. Bonfires and smores last weekend for homecoming. Late night coffee house visits with your entire hall and brother dorm. Makes for good games of Scrabble and many laughs. Fall Festivals with my favorite E40 girls! Hay rides Pumpkin patch and painting   Hope y'all are enjoying this gorgeous fall season too!   Happy Saturday! Austyn  

Currently, the words of my new favorite song by Hillsong, speak volumes.   Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders Let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior     God and I, lately we've been having lots of chats. and he's teaching me lots.   But I just cant stop thinking about those lyrics. My faith to be made stronger, in the presence of my Savior. Deeper than my feet could ever wander.   ONLY God can do that. Only he can take me; a hot mess. and take me to a new level of trusting him to see him in a whole new perspective. to walk the waters that only he could call me to.   What an amazing gig to get in on.   I just can't stop praying that over myself, and my walk with him. that it would be made stronger in his presence, and that he would take me on walks on the paths of l...

  Wow, when people said college was crazy, they werent kidding.   Life gets so overwhelming sometimes and I just forget where I am, what it is I'm supposed to be doing.   After a rough morning, I sat down to have some quiet time and I flipped open my devotional, and God placed exactly what I needed to read right in front of me. Don't you love when he does that?   Make my steps secure through your promise. Psalm 119:133   God promises us trials in this life, but just because life is hard doesn't mean it cant improve and just because life's going good, doesn't mean trial is soon to come.   We are to remain hopeful that he will protect us, he is always with us and provides for us. He promises to never abandon us or leave us and to use everything for our own good, if we are willing to let him.   I'm such a worrier, I am convicted by it daily. I'm always scattering with fear and worry and stressing about everything. Its so...

Im pretty sure when I woke up this morning and realized it was October, I about had a heart attack. Where has the time gone?   Tomorrow starts fall break, Im going HOME thank you Jesus!!   But first let me catch you up on life at Liberty.. For me and my prayer leaders birthdays, we decided to get fish, and we went together. Edmond and Garner are the darling-est glub glubs around!   Back in late September my precious Children of the World choir came to LU to sing and do a concert. It made my heart oh so happy after so many years apart. I experienced my first Hockey game And almost got nailed in the face with a HUGE puck Thank you kind Liberty gentlemen for catching it an inch before my forehead did. After the hockey game we went out for dessert, where me and Abby had our first cinnamon sensation. and OH was it Sensational! We found a church we really like and have been going to. Typically its the 3 of us musketeers that ven...
