17th Birthday Celebration: Megan


Song: “Some Things Are Meant To Be” Song by Little Women

Dearest Megan, Happy Birthday! What a treasure you are! I hope the 17 balloon wishes/blessings lifted you up and the Tres Leches cake satisfied your sweet tooth. Megan is amazing in the kitchen. One of my great joys is to work in there with her. She can read my mind :) So, one way to honor her is to feature the recipe for her favorite cake at the end. Try it, you’ll be glad you did :) yummmmmmmy!  We are still waiting for her to come home long enough to cut into it! ;) We are proud to be your family and friends. May GOD continue the good work in you He has begun with your life verse:
Matthew 13:45-46
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found ONE pearl of great price,
went and sold all that he had and bought it.

8 Superfoods to add to your smoothie

8 Superfoods to add to your smoothie.

Your body is God’s temple.

It pleases and honors Him when you take care of it.

Eat well, rest well, play well, pray well, live and love well.

I tell my girls, take care of yourselves as I have tried to care for you.

I’ve made more than my share of mistakes.

But, I’ve tried to offer plenty of TLC (tender loving care.)

How many of us take tender, loving care of ourselves?

When It Rains, It Pours

CBN News: Noah’s Ark Found on Mount Ararat in Turkey

Noah’s Ark: Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah’s Ark.
ONE: Don’t miss the boat.
TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark .
FOUR: Stay fit. When you’re 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
FIVE: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.
SEVEN: For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.
EIGHT: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
NINE: When you’re stressed, float awhile.
TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting.

What is your weather like today?  It’s “flooding” at my house and not a cloud in the sky. There are just these places in life where, when it rains it pours. I’ve joked with one of our best friends, who happens to be a “carpenter,” about building an ark in my back yard. I anticipate needing it! Life floods us with disappointments, despair, doubt, and darkening clouds on the horizon.

How do we prepare for the flood? Time in the Word. Discussions about how we apply God’s truth. Encouraging one another to build our futures on high ground. It does not work very well to dig in deep where we are, we just get stuck. I don’t know about you, but the last place I want to be is in a hole when the waters start to rise.

I believe in God’s promises. I can’t say that I’m dancing in the rain, but I am anticipating the rainbow! I chose, today and  always to live on “high ground” for when it rains, it pours.

Genesis 9:13

I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
