The Lord is our Provider!

He provides a way.

He gives life.

He holds the weary.

He calls.

He sustains us.

He guides.

He leads.

He heals.

He binds.

He restores.

He forgives.

He treasures.

He delights.

He communes.

He smiles.

He gives.

He surrounds.

He protects.
He renews.
He is our everything.

In Him we find everything we need for life and godliness! What then shall be our excuse in the end? Nothing. Nothing! We have but to accept his offering of guidance this day...to have access to His everlasting, infinite wisdom at our fingertips!
Grab hold of Him today along with me and remember, He IS our everything and our God knows the way.

Craving

On this particular day, I was craving something. Healthy. Delicious. Cheesy of course, and something with a little zing!
So I came up with this:
Spinach Guac with mini quesos and a freshly squeezed lime Diet Coke.
Okay, Diet coke didn't fit into any of those craving specifications but did in fact wash my meal down superbly!
If you are so inclined to mimic this "recipe", it goes something like this:
Spinach guac was made up of an avocado, juice of half a lime, 1/4 cup organic salsa of your choosing, 1/4 cup chopped spinach and 1/2 t garlic salt.
Use the rest of your lime to juice your coke and enjoy a sip before moving on to the quesos...
!slrskslurp!
Ahem
Now, brown 4 tortillas in olive oil(or again an oil of your choosing) on med/high heat, and once both sides are browned top tortilla with shredded cheese(along with any other ingredients you may so desire) and fold in half, and heating until cheese is melted. It really only takes a minute or so! This could certainly feed two, but if you are unfortunately the only one home on this particular day because your husband works, your kids have already eaten and you're feeling like a loner at the moment.... then by ALL means don't let any of it go to waste!
Then sit down, relax. Ahhhhhhhhhhh. And enjoy the *zangy flavor!!

*once again I have made up a fictitious word to enhance the emphasis of my statement.
Good day, my friends -Mommy

"Dear Lord,
Thank you for plants.
Thank you for strawberries.
Thank you for pickles.
Thank YOU.
Becuase grass withers,
And flowers fall,
but the Word of the Lord stands forEVer!
Thank you.
Amen."

My two youngest and I recently had an afternoon all to ourselves... we enjoyed each other by playing, shopping and taking some pictures!
Ooo, it's so shiny!

Argh, I just want to grab it, squeeze it and suck the bejeebers out of it!!

So debonair!

She's such a doll! (I'm not biased or anything, right?)


My two youngest blessings!
Thankful for them and the time spent with these cuties.
My Little man is such a cuddler and lover at heart. He loves to stroke, hug, cuddle and snuggle everyone but especially his baby sister. It's so special to partake in the sweetness of his gestures. Such a sensitive little guy.
My fifth blessing, on the other hand, is quite the little firecracker full of personality and she know what she wants! Lately that has been, TO MOVE!! She's not figured it out quite yet and that makes her upset.
She's happy to sit with her brother, though even if he is unknowingly a little rough and heavy, she endures and rather even enjoys his lovings as she melts into his hugs.
These two are two special, one-of-a-kind little people and God has big plans for each of them.

Thankful He's given them to our family to train up in Him!
