What A Week!

Deuteronomy 31:8 “ The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Psalm 103:10 “ He [God] does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.”

These verses have really encouraged me this week. So I just wanted to share them with you, maybe they will do the same for you?

This week has been a busy one for me. It has been really good, but busy. At the beginning of my week, all I had going on was I had to bake 5-6 dozen buns for Saturday, and I was starting to baby sit a new girl. Oh yeah, Tuesday evening was Bible study. Sounds simple, easy even.

Well, it quickly changed. 

Monday evening I went for a walk with my friend, Tuesday I went to town to do errands and took my son for his immunizations. Wednesday I made salsa, again. For the 3rd and final time.

Wednesday evening I got an email from our Sunday School Superintendent. She was wondering if I would want to bake 12 dozen cookies for Sunday. Of course, I said yes. Really, how could I say no? It is for Sunday school kick off and I truly enjoy baking. Besides, the kids need something special for the first day back at Sunday school.

So, on Thursday, I baked my buns and managed to get 2 batches of cookies done (6 dozen).

And today is only beginning, but I have already accomplished much. I have laundry started and I have baked my jam-jam cookies. Now, I just need to fill them.

And bake the other two kinds of cookies.

I will make more than 12 dozen. I need enough for all the kids in their classrooms, and for the adults in the foyer. And we all love variety, so I will do a few kinds.

Tomorrow can’t come soon enough. Not because it’s Saturday, but because I have plans.

I am spending my whole day, 7 hours of it, in the company of many Christian women willing to learn. Yes, tomorrow is the Beth Moore simulcast. Finally!

I am very excited to go, but I’m sad that no one took me up on my offer to pay $10 toward their ticket. It’s not too late, though. If you really want to go, but just don’t have the money, email me and let’s figure something out. I really want you to come. I would love to be able to help you out.

my email is : candle_andrea at hotmail dot com.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Wishing you all a great weekend!

My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.                     Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.    Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not.  Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage. But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free! I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge. I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour.  This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot o...

Some Encouragement...

  What a nice weekend it was! The weather wasn't too bad either. It could have been a bit warmer but this is Manitoba after all. Spring is always unpredictable here!   I also had a chance to go back to the book fair by myself on Saturday. It was such a good time! I spent 45 minutes there and I only looked at one section! I came home with an armful of books and it only cost me 5 bucks! I didn't know this ahead of time but the last day is always half price day. So lucky for me, every book was half price! That makes shopping (especially when your on a budget) a lot more exciting! I was able to find some neat books for my sponsor boys as well. I found a couple on animals, one on hockey (the great Canadian sport), and one on northern Canada. Now, I just need to figure out which book to send to each boy.    I also found some great christian books for my husband and myself. The one that I'm reading now is called " Witness The Passion" by Richard Exley....

Monday’s Thoughts

Have you ever wondered about the history of Compassion International? I know I have. Today, as I was catching up on some blog posts that I’ve missed lately, I came across this video.  I thought it would be good to share with you. Whether you sponsor with Compassion or not, it doesn’t matter. I recommend that you take the 3 minutes and watch this video.   Watch Pastor Everett Swanson in Family | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com It’s beautiful to see how despair can turn into hope, just with one man’s dream and the power of God. Will you sponsor a child? If you decide to sponsor a child, feel free to share it with me. I would love to share in your joy!
