don't ever ask me to make a chocolate ganache....it'll go bad.
Try penuche? It's a caramel brown fudge candy, toffee, the Lord leads, use a candy thermometer and GO FOR IT !!
And, don't be so hard on yourself, milady
God has not given you a spirit of fear but of adventure, and, its an adventure all your life to follow Him, littleChristone.
I've started exercising 15-20 minutes a day, since I've cut back on so many things now I might as well get in shape and get my weight down. I let myself go for waaayyyy too long. Time to get back into the land of the healthy living.
And so far, I feel great. I'm getting less headaches and having more energy.
My worry is, though, I won't stick to it. I have a BAD, like SUPER BAD habit of starting on something and never finishing. Happens time and time again. It's the part of myself I hate the most. It's not my looks or my weight that win out on things I dislike about myself the most, it's the bad habits and traits I tend to have. But maybe this will help break some of that. If I finish one thing and get to at least one goal in my life, maybe the rest will fall with them.
You can do it.
Phil. 4:13
Some people, maybe even a lot of people, seem satisfied with shallowness. Superficiality. Temporary satisfaction. Being entertained. I don't understand it, but there it is. The question in my mind is how they ever expect to have what is meaningful and lasting. How can personal growth occur under such conditions? A lasting marriage? Fellowship with the Lord? Revelation of the Kingdom of God?
Fun is great. I love fun.
But I also want to be a grownup. I want to grow in God. I want to release my life to Him and allow it to become all that it can be. I want to make a difference. I want to build what lasts.
You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.

Julieannie, just keep goinng, the Lord leads, He is doing perfect work through you . Eph. 2:10
catstaffer: What great Lord-led work, no, not changing the catbox--that is a labor of love though, and, that's great, those cats LOVE a clean granules
--- but, yes, working with folks like you do for work. Awesome. Doing work what Jesus would do. Most rewarding work I've done has been helping others in different ways, I've done a lot of social things, including doc work, but, although I liked it, God said after 6 months of volunteering, back in 1997, that it was not the work for me . I followed Him
, although I still look back at those memories--great

Everything went great yesterday, PTL, cooked dinner for mom, sister and her kids and my nephew and nieces 13, 5,3, came over and they are all doing well. Praise God !! God is so good. A month ago my sister and her family were having great problems and God just jumped in to take over, amazing ways God does things as we just let Him lead
Sorry, not more specific, not here, but God worked a miracle through my sister and I thank Him for His great care in helping her see that she could still love when she was hurt and for her mate too, that they could get through the problems that were hurting them, deeply. God healed things. God answers prayers !!!
My dinner went good too, I had a lot of good help from my sis' kids and we made pizza (nephew made it scrumptious!) , had shrimp, and, I made some salads . Everything went purrr-fect, once again, this mother's day was a little more organized than uze in the cooking department, sometimes I really do just grab recipes out of books and start cooking and everything always goes perfect (I didn't say the food was all always perfect
) , as He leads and helps me prepare everything , often in ways that simply floor me because I don't cook much during the year.
