I want to thank my friends at jesusluvsall and Herry Chic Counsels for tagging me to participate in the October “What Kind of Pumpkin Are You?” Tag. I had a lot of fun reading their answers as well, so please head on over there if you missed it โค .
The Tag:

Per the originator this tag is not about celebrating a given holiday the same way, but rather about enjoying the goodness in every season: “Being a Christian means we are like a pumpkin to be carved out and for Godโs love to shine through, which brings us to the question of this tagโฆ What kind of pumpkin are you?“
The Rules:
- Thank the person who tagged you and link their post to yours.
- Link the original post so the creators can read them
- Use the original featured image and include it in your post.
- Copy and paste the meaning of the tag into your post (see featured image).
- Answer the questions.
- Tag at least one person.
- Have fun and enjoy the rest of your month! I love the meaning behind this tagโฆ
The Questions:
1. Do you celebrate Halloween? Why or why not?
Yes and no. I don’t enjoy horror. I watched several scary movies as a teenager, before I came to realize that the images I expose my mind to stay put, for good or for ill.
I haven’t watched scary movies or been to a haunted house since. I want to be somewhere I would be comfortable being if Jesus were there.
However, I do enjoy the lighter side of Halloween. We bob for apples. My husband makes the BEST chili. The kids dress up in friendly costumes. That said, I also don’t generally spend money on costumes or decorations, so Joe and I keep outfits fairly simple โ either something I know we will use again, or a gift from grandma ๐.
2. Do you like to watch scary movies? Why or why not?
Nope. See above ๐.
3. Name 3 of your greatest fears.
Losing a family member, not being able to handle adversity when it comes, BUGS
4. When was the last time you scared someone?
Sometimes Joe and I will jump out from behind doors to startle each other. He always sees it coming, so I don’t know if that counts.
5. Do you believe in ghosts, angels, and/or demons?
I believe in the adversary. I believe he is real and has agents at his disposal. I don’t know what that looks like, but I have felt that loss of the Spirit before and prayed for safety.
I also believe in Heaven and angels, though I can’t pinpoint a specific experience. But I know God is watching over me โค .
6. Do you ever get dรฉjร vu? What do you think it means?
At least once a month, maybe more. It’s a crazy feeling, and my brother doesn’t believe me, hahaa!
I think maybe it’s dreams I’ve had that I don’t remember until it happens, and it’s God’s way of confirming a given path or telling me to pay attention to that moment, but I honestly don’t know.
7. What are two of your favorite candies?
Chocolate Anything.
Ice Cream Cake. Does that count??
I am tagging…
Anyone reading this who would like to participate and hasn’t yet. October is slowly waning to a close!
Here’s to enjoying the beautiful, fall season.

I can’t handle anything horror either! Scary images tend to stick and turn me into a blubbering mess.

I agree! Why subject ourselves to that? I do think certain things affect people differently. I am very sensitive ๐

Is his chili spicy or mild?

Spicy all the way ๐. But we have 2 versions because we are an extra spicy family and we have to tone it down when we cook for the neighbors ๐.

We are planning our first annual chili cook-off this Thursday! It seems like a fun thing to do that Jesus would enjoy too ๐
If my chili doesnโt turn out, I may need to get your husbandโs recipe!
Weโre also going to have a movie night and watch Charlotteโs Web. ๐ท

Ooh I love Charlotte’s Web! We are doing a cook-off, too ๐. I am looking forward to it. I will have to post the recipe soon. I’m sure yours will be spectacular, though โค๏ธ. I have always wanted to find a recipe for a good, creamy white chili… ๐ค.
