• How I spent my day...

  This morning I slept in... wonderful!  Then I made muffins for breakfast.  And then after a nice shower, I bundled up to go out into the wonderful Fall day.  I drove to Garden of the Gods.  It was sprinkling off and on, but not enough to stop me from doing some hiking and taking some pictures.  And just sitting and listening.  Garden of the Gods is special to me - its not the first time I've been there and its always been a place where the Lord has spoken to me and refreshed me.  After hiking and driving around a bit, I decided to check out Old Colorado City, sort of the old town of CO Springs.  Lots of cool shops, trees that are changing color.  The air is crisp today.  I love that.  Found a great little ma 'n' pa cafe to have lunch in.  After an awesome cob salad, it was raining pretty hard.  So I decided to find my way to a (preferably) neat little one-of-a-kind coffee shop.  When I couldn't find one, I headed to the Starbucks I saw.  However, much to my delight, on my way I passed a really cool coffee shop!  So, that is where I sit now.  There is a group of 4 girls next to me... obviously beginning college students, probably who haven't seen each other in a while, catching up on school and their travels.  One girl was just in Uganda.  All of them talk of their dreams and their ideas and the fears they have on getting there.  Ah, its wonderful to listen to! :)  This is a great day!
