Daily Surrender


Hey, sorry I havent posted for a while life has been a little crazy lately.
I have been working on my "new years resolutins" for those of you who dont know I do mine on my birthday. I  look over my life and look at who I am and who I am striving to be and make goals for myself to get closer to being that person.

This year I got to add a new category to my goals (YAY ME!) so now not only will I be making goals for my spiritual and physical lives but also as a wifey. I already know what my goals are. I am just working on getting ready to acheve them.
Spiritually- I want to be in prayer more. For those of you who know me you know that I can pray for like 45 minutes at a time but I have been slacking really bad as a woman in ministry it is my job to constantly be in prayer for my friends and family especially my husband as God is guiding him. and in this day in age where evil is so prevelant I believe that as Christians we should be on our knees daily for our world.

Physically- I want to be at a healthy weight. at this point I weigh 158lbs. my healthy weight is from 125-130 so I am going to try and loose 25-30lbs. this year by exercising and cutting out stupid stuff like soda. and drinking a crap load more water. it sounds simple but thats only the first step. In my family there is what I like to call a "generational curse" of obeisity and diabeties. Obeisity leads to low self asteem, less motivation, and laziness (Things that are not becoming as a godly wife and hopefully some day mother. these are NOT attributes I want to impress upon my children) and Diabeties is a genetic disease that unless the proper actions are taken can result in the loss of a limb or even cause death. (another thing I do not want to give to my future children) Prov 31:17 She is energetic and strong,a hard worker."

As a wife- I want to me my husbands biggest fan! I want to be like the wife in 
 Proverbs 31:11-12       
"Her husband can trust her,
    and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 
She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life."

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...

                                                Good morning everybody! 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        ...
