A Little Bit of This ~ A Little Bit of That

Faith
Im learning to depend on God more each day. At home I try to steal moments with my Jesus my daddy...in the car I thank him for the beauty that surrounds me, at work I find myself looking out the big glass window that faces the east and wonder what it would be like to see my Jesus my daddy open up the heavens riding the white horse coming to get me his child :D
I long for that!
Revelation 19:11
I saw heaven open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.

Family
I am so thankful for a Godly husband, who loves me and makes Christ the head of our household. He is a wonderful dad to our 6 grown children and an awesome papaw to our 2 grandsons. We are looking for more grankids in the future, our daughter is expecting in April and we find out this month what she will be having. We are blessed with wonderful children and pray constantly for them. The ones wh0 are not married, we pray for Godly spouses. The ones who are married for continued growth in their marriage and spiritual life. My husband and I have a crazy life with different work schedules. We are active in the community, church and with our family, but it all works out and it definitley makes us appreciate each other even more!

Friends
How can a person go through life without friends...I know I cant. I am blessed with a handful of BEST FRIENDS who have been by my side since 5th grade and totally blessed with friends I have met from all over the world. We have friends in Poland, Spain, Germany, Washington, Mississippi, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Illinois, Colorado, and hopefully before my life is over many more friends that I'll meet along the way. I am a people person...I love having friends...I love sharing stories...I love laughing and sometimes crying with my friends. I consider myself to be a true friend...my friends are my treaures in life!

Food
My family and friends know that I have a passion and gift for baking. Ok...I LOVE FOOD and FOOD LOVES ME, what can I say. I love the smells, the taste, the visual and to see all the ingredients come together to make a beautiful dish. I have always dreamt that I would have my own cooking show, but thats not reality, so I live through Paula Dean and Sandra Lee. I remember when Paula & Sandra first started their show, I watched them taped them and then would stand in my kitchen pretending I was cooking for for them. Years ago my friend Jodi and I did "blooming onions" in my kitchen pretending we were doing a cooking show...the audience my kids or the ones who stuck around. Jodi brought me a knife and we had to try it out :D I still have that knife and its my favorite utensil in my kitchen. I am taking a dish tonight to church we have each month a "GNO" Girls Night Out with a different theme, this month Home for the Holidays. I am taking "Pumpkin Dump Cake" Mmmmm good! Cant wait to see all my girlfriends and eat some pre-holiday foods. I'll send the picture and the recipe next time. In the meantime...Sweet Blessings!
