Moving forward from Summer into Fall
Major decisions, new friends, different environment, all moving us forward, even sometimes when we are resist.

Choose wise counsel when you make the major decisions, God first, then someone special in your life who you respect and who respects you. Seems easy, and for some decisions it is, but for the major, life-changing ones, be cautious who you share your heart with.  And in the same way, if someone trusts you to share their heart and asks your advise, understand that this is an honor, not just a random request. Pray and if you don't feel you are the one to help them, tell them so.  Sometimes the answers are not easy and an older person, like family, school counselor or someone from your church, may be the best one to refer them to.

You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.
Psalm 16:11 (NLT)
 
New friends are fun, but it takes the test of time to see if they are truly the kind of friends that you can bless and who can bless you.  Just guard your heart, share kindness, but take these relationships slow.  Remember, don't compromise your integrity, your standards or your heart for anyone.  Then all is fair and the adventure is OK.

Be the one who other people want to befriend.  Let your light shine, smile, don't complain, start your day with prayer.  Let joy be your strength and remember God is right by your side. 

Enjoy the season...God has a plan just for you....ask and He will guide your every step.

Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.
Proverbs 1:23 (NLT)
