As the seasons transition into fall, I find myself slowly falling in love with Chicago. At first it was a tough transition... the busy school schedule, a new apartment, living away from my beloved mountains, making new friends... But now, as the leaves begin to change, I realize that my perspective on my new life here needs to change as well. I need to shift my thoughts away from missing Colorado and over to trusting that the Lord has a good and perfect plan for me here.

 I've known in my mind for a while that moving to Chicago was the best decision for me (with going to grad school, spending time with family, and being near John), but I didn't feel it fully in my heart. I'm still adapting to life here in Chicago, but like the leaves, I can see my heart beginning to change into a warm new color.
