Brokenness. Inside I weep for the passing of my step father. It has been one year since his death and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him in some way. He was a large influence on my life and I am a better person for his love and guidance. May you enjoy each day you dance at our Lord's feet my dear "Pooey"!

Brokenness. As I mentioned in my previous post, my daughter was making pretzels. Well, once our poor overworked oven got a break - it won't come on again! She had planned to make a cake for a friends birthday tomorrow but we had to move to Plan B. We are both disappointed, but will call for a fix as soon as I can. By the way, the pretzels were awesome!

Brokenness. Our Father calls us to be broken before Him so that he may build and shape us in His image. Just as the clay is molded on the potter's wheel, He will mold us in His image - only if we let him. It's my prayer that I can be the person God wants me to be so I can touch someone else who may be broken and hurting. I have been broken, reshaped and healed so that I may show God's love to another.

February 19, 2012

Ok, so it has been so long since I have blogged that I totally got yesterday's date wrong! Oh well, good thing God gives us a new day everyday. On a whim yesterday, Abby decided to make some cake pops for a friend. They came out pretty good. She just wanted to make them - just because....and that got me thinking.

I think food brings us enjoyment more when we can share it. Whether it is for someone close or someone in need, sharing brings meaning to it. Not only that, but sharing brings out out best and that is what God really wants of us. He doesn't want us to share a little of the leftovers that nobody wants. He wants us to share the abundant overflow of goodness that flows straight from our hearts!!!

I am posting a picture of her pops below and at this very moment she is also rising some dough for pretzels! Enjoy and share the overflow!
