Get Altered

Psalm 139:23-24 
"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."


I can quote scripture like that till my face is blue and not mean a word of it... I can sing songs asking God to have my life, and inside be hanging on so tight that it kills me... I dont know if any of you have been where I am at right now. But its painfully amazing!! 

I was at the supper table with my husband to be. Holding in all the frustrations that I had from the day. trying to seem like everything was ok (y do I even bother acting strong?) He saw right through it, mainly because the frustration was seeping out and started being aimed at him. He asked if I was ok and out of nowhere all the hurt and frustration and fear and anger just started pouring out. While I was venting he took a piece of paper and started drawing. When I was done I looked at the paper.... There in the corner of the blank page was a cross. nothin to fantastic about it just 2 doodled lines formed together to mark the one thing I was forgetting in my life.

I went upstairs to my office and kinda figured he was right..... It took me a little while to understand just how right he was! You see My life was that huge piece of paper. It was covered with the way I was feeling and all the stuff I had to get done..... and over in the corner somewhere was Jesus... nothing to fantastic just a God I run 2 when I wanna feel Holy..The one Man I was forgetting when I looked at "my life" I got up from my desk and went to the middle of my office and cried out to God. 

How selfish Ive been..... How completely washed up in My will that showing people the love that I have been given was on the back burner, and freaking out at the way people were treating ME was in its place.... 

I sat there... on the floor being flooded with the grace of Jesus. all the fears of the future.. gone. all the resentment.... switched to wanting to love those people. You see, Christ came to love the unlovable.... THAT WAS ME!!!!  I was the one on my way 2 Hell because I completely deserved it!!! and Jesus came and died and gave me His free gift of life and Mercy and Love that I cant even describe... And somehow I think im anything important? I am nothing w/o Jesus!! (Pssssst..... So r u!!!)  and all He wants us to do is remember that. and to live like we are Hopelessly Loved by a Holy and righteous God BECAUSE WE ARE!!!!

The old Hymn goes, " This world is not my home I'm just a passing through,  My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue,  The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore..."  How excited do you get about that?! No matter what you are going through in life it will soon pass and then we will be with our father in glory! that's all I got... ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL THO!!! just think about it this next week. whatever you find yourself going through, you, as a believer of Jesus Christ as your personal savior, have a great eternity to look forward to!!

Single Minded

I started today like every normal day. My son would wake me up by shouting "Mommy!" from his crib and I would hope that I was just hearing things. After a while I roll out of bed and put on my happy face to go see the love of my life who woke me from my beautiful coma.   Today however, I opened the door and this sweet little boy had removed his pajamas, his diaper, and was covered in his own brown filth. So I had to calmly pick up my poop covered son and bring him down stairs because I unfortunately didn't leave any wipes upstairs! It was at the point where he looked at me and said "mommy tinky" that i realized that I had some on me!!!! For those of you who have yet to go through this, let me tell you it becomes very hard to remain calm when you have a toddler in your arms and you can feel the nastiness on you! What does my ordeal this morning have to do with single mindedness? Good question! let me try and tie it in. When I first found out I was going to b...

This is my first time posting a recipe post so bare with me as I run around all these learning curves!  I am in no way a professional chef. it makes me giggle even to think that anyone would think that. I am a experimenter and this blog will be for the experiments that actually go well :) .  Alrighty, so lets get to it!  WHAT YOU WILL NEED: A SERRATED POTATO PEELER PAPER TOWELS OR NAPKINS A FRYING PAN POTATOES VEGETABLE OIL  SALT FLAVORING (Optional I used a Ramen noodle Packet) Now, I dont know if the serrated part is necessary but i thiught it added a little bit of awesome to the chips.  If you would like to get one, I saved you the Amazon search and found one that is less than $10 with 4 1/2 stars        ...
