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....

Two Words.

Test everything. These 2 words have played over and over in my mind lately. I knew that there is a verse that says this, but I didn’t remember where to find it, so last night I asked my husband. He, for some reason can find everything for me. He found it in 1Thessalonians 5:21 “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” What exactly does that mean? What I have found lately, is that this applies to ALL things in All areas. Especially those concerning Christianity and the Truth. These days, you can’t just walk into a church and assume that what you hear the pastor say is true. To do that can be very dangerous.  What I understand from this verse is that we are supposed to test everything against the Word of God and hold on to the Truth only. Take your Bible to church with you, check what the pastor is speaking against the Word. We need to make sure that what we are being taught is God’s truth. Everything that your church practices and teaches should be in your Bible. I’m so very thankf...
