Halloween is such a weird holiday, why is it socially acceptable to go to strangers house and ask for CANDY?! When you really think of the concept of trick-or-treating, its odd. Anyway, of all days in the year this is actually the day I gave my life to Christ and decided I needed God in my life. When you think about what Halloween actually is, basically I did the exact opposite of what the “world” expects.

Anyway, I became a “believer, Christian, follower of Christ” depending on the terminology that suites you, I decided two years ago on Halloween that I couldn’t make it through this life on my own, I needed the strength of God. It’s been two years since I truly made the commitment even though I had grown up in a Christian home, I never made the step for myself until recently. I have been beyond thankful for the life I have been given and the life I have choose to live through Christ my savior.

Today I took little Cooper man to see daddy at work while dressed up in his little Monkey costume. He gets shown off to everyone as they all get so excited to see him when we visit. We also went to our old neighbors house that evening and stopped by so the kids could play together. It was fun! Our new house gets ALOT of trick-or-treaters which was a huge surprise. It was crazy how many people came by, we actually ran out of candy by 7:30.

Needless to say, Halloween has a whole new meaning to me and I enjoy celebrating for a different reason. :)
