Keeping it Real...Welcome! No matter how you found this, God knew you'd be here today. May you absorb the message He has for you. In 2011 I shared through my writing, today I've learned there is more to me than just writing. I have the energy and passion to share with others. Sometimes through Facebook live and others with my blog and most importantly, I've learned my passion to cook and bake is a vessel to share my writing and live presentations, while glorifying God in the process. I just needed to let go, and follow His lead.

 I have so much to be thankful for this week and every day. The Spring Refresh was amazing. The speakers, missionary moments, and all the women in attendance were vibrant and full of joy. Many great testimonies encourage d and uplifted near three-hundred women in attendance. From our Spring Refresh with the Alliance Women: Mags old enough to attend with me Equal number of adults to teens this year! Safety while traveling A growing church Challenging messages Authentic women of God Indoor swimming pool Laughter New jewelry Hugs from FB friends To meet a FB friend in person (go figure) Hope The Bible Truth Boldness Sisterhood Wi Fi Christian authors New friends Adjoining rooms Time to get away Deck boards lay when I returned home (Thanks Dad, Ed, Scott, Josh, and Mom!) Sunday through today: A purple heart for the tough days A daughter wishing to serve Children’s church lesson planned and taught…by Mags Blessed to work with friends Words written in obedience to God change my heart Clothes in dryer when I left, folded and put away when I return Great ORC team Doctors who care Doctors willing to work together Prayers lifted Heard And answered Healed in His name Hope for tomorrow Lemon water in the morning A green salad each day Equal a healthier version of me Dar…for joining me on Monday night A six year old’s giggle Smiling is contagious Thankful Mags trust Him to care for her!! These are only a few of the things I am thankful for this week. There are so many. Each day I wake up is cause for thanks and praise because has blessed me with another day here on earth. Yet as I write this, I think of a statement made by one of the girls at youth group a few weeks ago. A discussion question during one of our youth group icebreaker activities the wisdom expressed through one of our teens triggered a fabulous conversation. I cannot remember the exact “scenario” on the paper but it had something to do with “the worst thing to happen” and “death”. One of the girls said, “If the worst thing is death and going to heaven, is it really that bad?” The conversation that ensued lifted my heart. If children are our future, things are looking good.  |
