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!

Laundry. Fun?

   I never totally understood why my mom always had a table in the laundry room. Like really, what is the point? Your down there all by yourself folding laundry. How fun is that? Very Very Fun!! And SOOOOO Quiet!!!          Growing up I did not enjoy folding laundry because it usually meant being in the cold, damp basement by yourself with just you and a table full of laundry. It was not exciting at all. I would have much rather brought the laundry upstairs and folded it in the living room instead of in the 'dungeon'. Our basement wasn't that bad, it was just very cold, and eerily quiet when you were down there alone and for a girl (with a very active imagination) that's a scary place to be. I mean who knows what goes on down there when nobody's around, right? Or so, I thought. Now that I'm older however, I totally get it. Yesterday, I put a table in my laundry room. I...                  LOVE...                                              IT!

My Spirited, trouble making, blessings.

    My children are a handful some days (usually the days that I’m tired and have limited patience), my daughter is ‘spirited’ and my son is just a trouble maker. He loves to make people laugh and does so in a variety of different ways. Take last week for example, He decided to crawl onto our table (which is higher than normal), stand and then touch my light fixtures. Well, the other two babies that I babysit thought this was hilarious, so they would laugh and he would keep doing it. Then mom (me) seeing what was happening, would come take him off the table, tell him to stay off and carry about my business. However, that doesn’t work with him very well. So he would do it all over again and get the same response from his ‘audience’.  Finally, in order to make him stop, I had to put him into his crib where he couldn’t get out. My daughter is very exuberant. Anyone who knows her can attest to that. When she walks into a room, you know .  She is a child who is ‘more’. More persistent, mo

Changes I’m making in 2012

There’s been a lot of talk about New years resolutions lately, so I thought I’d join in and write about it as well.  However, I don’t make resolutions, because frankly, I don’t/can’t/won’t keep them. I’m just not good at that. There are people who are, and to you I give lots of credit! This year, though, I plan to work on and change some things in my life. I’ll share them with you: - Study God’s word more in depth . I read my Bible twice a day, but I don’t take the extra time and really study it. I’d like to dig deeper and learn more, sometimes I feel like I’m still ‘hungry’ after reading and I want to take the time to learn how to get ‘full’. - Spend more time ‘watching’ my kids . I don’t mean caring for them, I do that all the time. What I mean is I want to actually sit back and watch them at play. Get to know their personalities better. What better way to do that than to watch them in action? - Be a better example . I’m really starting to see how much my kids learn from me. I’v
