We had a great weekend!! The weather here was ah-ma-zing all weekend! It was just cool enough to enjoy that Pumpkin Spice Latte that was on my to-do list {it was just as yummy as I remembered!!} but not too cool for long walks. Perfect! Sadly, the Redbull Flugtag was cancelled :/ They cancelled it due to strong rip tides or something. We asked when it was rescheduled for, and they told us next year. So sad! But we decided since we were out and about we would watch the Bama game at the Houndstooth Saloon. So.much.fun!!! It was crazy seeing other Bama fans here in Chicago. Like true fans that know all the words to the fight song and Rammer Jammer ;) We are definitely planning to watch more games there for sure!
Moving on... I thought I would share something that the Lord used Z to remind me of this weekend. I was telling him how I really love Chicago but I just don't really feel like I "fit in" here. I could tell this bothered him and immediately regretted my word choice. He is working so hard for us here and the last thing I want to do is discourage him in anyway. But later he shared that what he was really thinking was how maybe we're not supposed to "fit in". As followers of Christ,
I'm pretty sure I know he's right. The Lord tells us to be in this world but not of it. And fitting in is probably the definition of being of this world. It's not about where we live or if we fit in wherever we are, our hope is in the Lord and the promise of eternity with Him in heaven. This earth is not our home, so no, we probably won't fit in. But how much better to have the promise of a home that is so much greater than any we could ever know here on earth! I just wanted to share this because it was a welcome reminder for me. I was so thankful to Z for sharing his heart on the matter because it really changed my perspective! I'm so thankful that this is not our home... and neither is Alabama... how amazing to have our hope in the promise of one day being home with our Heavenly Father!
