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.

How do you water your plants? Have you seen these "water marbles" before? They are neat. While showing our foreign exchange daughter, Coline, various fun places in New York a few years ago, she and our daughter discovered them. We were all amazed. The girls used their own money and bought a few different colors. At first I only saw the beauty in them, it wasn't until I read the back side of the directions that I realized they served a purpose, more than just looking pretty. The marbles start about the size of a pea and expand to the size of a marble as the water is absorbed. When we first discovered them you could purchase them in packets by individual color or in a multipack. We started with the multipack but ended up going back for individual colors and I think Coline may have brought some home with her as a gift for her Mom and Grandma, I can't remember now. The girls bought them because of their beauty yet their creator designed them with a greater purpose. Similar to God, He didn't just create you and I to "look" a certain way. God's gifted us each differently to share our beauty with others, just like the marbles. Think of it like this, whatever we absorb and take in, is what others will see, hear, and witness about us through our behaviors. We were designed with more care than a marble, so shouldn't we pay more attention to what we're allowing in. There is so much available to us in the world, we need to be cautious when we absorb all that is out there. If we desire to be beautiful like the water marbles so we can share God's love with others, then we need to keep our hearts (the marble) moisturized with God's Word, the Living Water. In doing so, we fill ourselves with joy and peace. A joy and peace that will overflow into the lives of those meet. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace What are you filling your heart with?
