Tis the season

Pumpkin... pumpkin... pumpkins everywhere!

I must confess something.
I've never been a big pumpkin-eater.

Oh, I like picking real pumpkins and carving them, and even eating the seeds.
But pumpkin bread... pumpkin pie... no thank you.

Until this year.
Something changed.

It started with my friend's amazing pumpkin cupcakes at Bible study one night...
followed by me making them...
then trying a pumpkin spice latte...
and then making pumpkin bread...
and ordering a pumpkin muffin (who AM i?)
and again, mini cupcakes.


I still don't think I can do the massive pumpkin-ness of pumpkin pie.
[although i may try it... a small piece.]

This season has definitely stretched me
to give pumpkin another chance.
Why would I write it off before I really know what it's like?

God has used this season to challenge me
to be bold, to try new things, and learn more about who He made me to be.
And part of that journey involves pumpkins.
