CAKES!!! yeah!!!! :)

I began my Wilton's decorating class :) I was totally excited this afternoon and after my class I was even MORE!!! :) although I didn't get to decorate much cuz our class is PACKED!!! but it was SOO fun!!! I'm already looking forward to next week!!! :)
Sorry I don't have any pics yet, cuz like I said I didn't do much, but next week for sure!! :)

Today was a really rough day for me,so this class is definitely a big lifter upper :)

Matt changed his schedule and I'm LOVING IT :) cuz I get tio hear from him more often:) I can't believe were almost at the one month mark!! I hope this time flies by!!!!

More another day, cuz tonight I'm pooped!!! And my 2 cookies def won't help my weigh in on Friday :( blagh.

Goodnite!!!

Thought for the Day :)

It's actually from Sundays message but really cool.

Everyone focuses on Jesus multiplying the 5 loaves and 2 fish. Although that is just awesome!!! Have we thought about what the boy felt? That was his only lunch, and if you could have asked him, could you feed 5000+ with this he would have been like. " Are you kidding me!"
However, he had faith! 2 things: ONE although what he had wasn't much, he knew that Jesus would MAKE IT WORK! TWO he had faith that although he was giving his all, he was going to be blessed in the end!

AND SO HE WAS!!! Tons of baskets were left over!

How many times do we look at ourselves and think. "what I have is not merely enough" whether it be financially or talents or just in general. But if Jesus was able to turn BREAD and FISH into thousands. What more could He do with us!!! And most importantly we should already know that although we may have to give our "all" for now, we will be blessed! Trust me God knows what He's doing :) and boy do we feel stupid when we go back and say "Ha, if I would have done it my way…I'm glad I didn't :)"

Grace in small things.…

Let's get to it!!

Verse of the week...

Sunday's message by Pastor Sean was AWESOME!!! So what i needed!!. His main topic was off of Romans, but he read this verse and it really hit me. It's when the disciples saw the blind man, and asked Jesus why he was blind, and if it was because his mother had sinned or because his father had sinned...This was Jesus' response:

John 9:3 - "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

Ok so you may be thinking..yeah that's just a verse..heard it many times...lol..but take a closer look at the end.."this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life"!!! If he was nice and healthy now..how would the work of God be displayed???? Many times we complain so much about our "thorns in the flesh" but we tend to forget that God is in control. He has allowed us to have this  "thorn" so we can remember HIS WORK!! it's basically God saying..."I'm helping you to be humble, and allowing you to show MY WORK" :-) 


I know i struggle with the WHY'S in life..and I always think it's not fair...but if i take a closer look at my life...I think...would i be as close to God and dependent on His will as I am now?? If i could do everything on my own ...would i even take the time to ask??? Absolutely not..I really think my trials are what have kept me faithfully dependent on God....Also it has allowed me to say HE MADE IT WORK!! (HE SOLD MY HOUSE!! - he really did..my house was hopeless :-)) I know it's hard to say but we should all be saying THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME TRIALS THAT HELPING ME STAY CLOSE TO YOU AND THAT SHOW YOUR AMAZING WORK IN OUR LIVES!!!!!! :-)

My attempt at experimentation!! LOL

Well it all started last week. I knew i had an event to go to yesterday. and I figured..ooo it would be nice if i could make some cheese empanadas!! So i asked my mom for some of the dough disks she uses, and she said she had a spare, and I could take it last Thu. when i left...WELL I FORGOT!!!!!
I looked everywhere in Fayetteville to see if they sold the darn disks..but no luck :-( I was really bummed out cuz i really wanted to make empanadas! Sooo i GOOGLED!! haha.. I found this recipe to make dough from scratch! I made an attempt on Tuesday and I made 2 and ...OMG THEY WERE SOOO GOOD!!
So yesterday I made the rest of the batch and I couldn't resist but to eat one..haha...but they were EVEN BETTER THAN ON TUESDAY!! haha...I was so proud. I'm good at following recipes, but sometimes, the food just doesn't want to cooperate! lol.  ...so here is the final result!

Needless to say everyone at my meet loved them too :-) YAY FOR ME AND EXPERIMENTING!!! haha
