Do small things with great love

What a great reminder!
I know as I was starting out my wifely duties I would catch myself looking for my husbands recognition for all that I had done instead of doing it out of love for him. I would make dinner and want him to applaud everything I made, even though a lot of what I made was out of a box. But as a Christian wife, this put big red flags up for me because the Bible says in Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men" I had to teach myself that tho he may not always notice, I need to continue to do my work for God regardless. and I am happy to report that when I stopped looking for my husbands praise, I started getting it. I guess it really is all about the attitude. :)

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        ...
