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!

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!

Hooray, It's Friday!

What a week it's been! The beginning went really smooth, nothing too crazy was going on which is a nice way to start the week. Yesterday however was a different story...       To start my day I had all of the kids that I babysit (I don't usually have them all on the same day). The one child is new so I have to remind her often about the rules in my home. I'm sure that will change soon as she learns them, the first couple times are usually rough then it gets better. My daughter got pink eye on Wednesday so I was dealing with that and if my day wasn't crazy enough, my son gets the flu! My children hardly ever get sick and I was talking to my girlfriend on Tuesday and I made a comment about how we hardly ever get sick here and wow did I jinx myself. My son had been cranky all day but I just thought that he was teething ( babies are always teething!). So when he woke from his afternoon nap I went to get him. The first thing that that greeted me as I walked into his...

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...
