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.

In God's Timing...not man'sI am blessed with a wonderful relationship and friendship with my parents. Among the small blessings are warm apple crisp just from the oven as I walk through the door on a Friday afternoon and dinner in the crock pot so I don’t have to cook when I get home. Our lawn was mowed, our daughter safely off the bus and relaxing before we even leave work. While these are wonderful and bless us, the greatest blessing is the time spent sitting around the kitchen table visiting with my parents. It is a special gift to have your parents as friends later in life. With the day’s events shared and the conversation blossoming I notice across the yard there is more than discussion in bloom. I was shocked, “Mom, the flowers are in bloom again!” Although they “shouldn’t” be in bloom this late in the fall, they are. I excused myself from the table so I could capture this joyful entry on film. As I walked over I thought to myself, Isn’t this so God. Gardening books and man’s research say this flower should be entering a dormant stage BUT it hasn’t. The beauty takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Jesus for blessing us with the opportunity to view it. My gosh…what could Heaven look like? With bold and brilliant pinks it stands out among the reds, oranges, browns and yellows of a Central New York Autumn. Anything is possible with God…in His time. We all have something in our life we “wait” on. Some of us wait to hear our loved one has been found or if a publisher will choose to publish our book. Yet not everything is life altering. Sometimes we wait in line at the grocery store, in traffic, or for the birth of our first child. Regardless of the “what” we wait on…it is ALL in God’s time, not ours. How are you living as you wait on the Lord? Have you accepted it is in God’s time, not yours? Are you making good choices and using your time wisely as you wait? What are you waiting on? How will you praise and thank God when the waiting is over? How are you living as you wait on the Lord? Have you accepted it is in God’s time, not yours? Are you making good choices and using your time wisely as you wait? What are you waiting on? How will you praise and thank God when the waiting is over?
