Kill Me Quickly
Fall is by far one of my very favorite seasons. I am absolutely infatuated by all the spices, the bright colors, the delicious smell in the air.... especially when the 'air' you're breathing is coming from a bakery. Pumpkin scones, apple pie, and cannolis. CANNOLIS! Oh my soul, it cannot be.... but alas, it is all too true. Today I was forced by the cruelty of fate, to site across the table from a steamy Pumpkin Spiced Latte and an over-stuffed, creaming cannoli. Shoot me now.

No Temptation Has Seized You....
I am proud to report I did not give in, however, I do believe my eyes strayed across the plate a little too often to claim complete innocence. I am such a social butterfly that there are few things I enjoy more than connecting with people. And a cup PSL with a friend on a warm Autumn afternoon spells complete and utter perfection to me. The past couple of weeks have really begun to restructure the way I look at social gatherings, dates, family time, and hanging out with friends. I think it's finally starting to click: It doesn't have to be about the food! Who knew? I am continually reminded throughout the day, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man; but God is faithful and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear." I can kiss all of my excuses goodbye! So convicting; so true.
