march madness.

i love march madness because for three weeks i can be really into basketball. when the truth is, i don't really understand the sport, nor do i follow it the rest of the season. its just so fun! i like that i get to pick who i think will win and talk smack, even though i don't know anything.

the first try at using fondant. it went alright...i'll have to get some more practice.




here's one for march madness :)

cake decorating.

i am learning new cake decorating techniques.
and i'm loving it.
i am going to be doing a dozen cupcakes with fondant...maybe i'll put pictures up here.
the only problem is, i have no one to eat them. i'll have to find some people to eat them.
but i'm excited to work on cakes again. i really like it.

if i write a book...

my gram gave me a great title for a book i should write called "why we go where we aren't wanted"

she said i should write it because so many people in my family don't understand why i go places where i'm not wanted.

i told her the short answer is because people need to hear about the Truth about Jesus and everlasting life. so we go places we aren't invited, just like Jesus did.

i am so thankful that i get to go places where people have never heard the name of Jesus and i get to show people how they can know the Living God.

so maybe i should write this little book about why we go where we aren't wanted.

tv watching

i really like house. i don't know why but i hope my doctor is a jerk, because then he's probably a really good doctor.
ever since i started watching the show every time i get a weird twitch or headache behind my right eye i think i have some ridiculous disease. so its kind of making me paranoid.
and now my gram watches a lot of ncis and csi, so she keeps wanting to pick up strings and twigs and put them in plastic bags, just in case there was a crime.

its really cold here, so we don't like leaving the house much.

the rope.

i'm standing on a precipice, yet there is no fear. i'm going to jump, but i'm attached. i've got a rope. it feels like i'm on a new cliff in this mountain adventure. i'm not sure if we will be going up or down, but i know i'm going. and i know i'm not going alone. but that i will end up somewhere i never could have dreamed of.

all i know is that rope has to be a sure thing. and i have to trust it implicitly. and i know that this adventure is it. its going to be the story of my life and this rope is my lifeline.


if you aren't picking up on it, there are spiritual undertones.
jesus is the rope. and its awesome. but would be totally unsafe without that rope. this life is not be done without that rope.

its time.

i've been doing some thinking. i am convinced that there is something major brewing. you know how you can sometimes feel it when a storm is coming. i am seeing how with the Church there is something coming.

it is time to stand and fight. it is time to say there will be no half-lies in the church. it is time to stand firm and stand only on the solid rock of Christ. its time we stop being so tolerant to lies in the church, as if that's what Jesus would want us to do.

we absolutely must be full of grace, as Christ is, but what good is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? if our souls are eternal, if our relationship with Christ is the most important and primary thing in our lives and if lies disrupt that relationship, then we must stand against every lie.

the best lies are laced with truth. don't be deceived. take up the full armor of God and fight against the principalities of darkness, ephesians 6. READ the BIBLE. Believe the Words of Truth. For where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom (2 cor 3:17) and the Truth shall set you free (john 8:32). discern. learn to use that brain the Lord gave you. do not look to yourself to find truth, because "the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?" jer. 17:9

the lie has been the same from the beginning "you will be like God" but you will not be like God, you were created to know Him, to be in relationship with Him, you were created to serve Him. that is the only place that TRUE LIFE is found. "now this is eternal life: that you know You the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent." John 17:3
