Friends

Have you ever been so overwhelmed that all you knew to do was cry and pray? Well, yesterday, I was having one of those days! My house was a mess, the laundry was stacked high, I was not feeling well, so much to do, and my husband has taken a new job and is working these wack hours. Why is it that we don't just fall down on our knees and seek God immediately, knowing that sometimes only he can make sense of things? I am learning that this is the first thing I should do and not the last. God just knows what we need! I had an appointment with a friend to help me arrange my jewelry on the selling tables for craft fairs. She has such a great eye and is more of a decorator than I ever could be. She met me in my area of need and we knocked out all the clothes that stacked so high in my bedroom. With her willing and sensitive heart, she was able to fill a need and bless me more than anyone could have imagined. You see, it is hard for me to ask for help, maybe that is why I am so stubborn in seeking God's help. I know that I need to rely on him, just putting that into action seems to be the most difficult part! So, take it from me, don't make the same mistake, ask God for help before your world starts crumbling!

Can you imagine this beautiful bedding from Anthropology on your bed? They have four colors to chose from. I really loved the white but with four children, it is a little unrealistic. I think it would be hard to keep clean and I would be obsessing about the kids staying off my bed, so I think the grey color adds a nice touch. This reminds me of the gusseted bags that Maggie Whitley makes. Check out her link below. She has some really cute things!

I would like to share my love of baking whole wheat bread with you. I first began baking bread 5 years ago. I have tried quite a few hard white wheat bread recipes and made lots of mistakes. When I began, I used the Zojirushi Bread Machine with the bread beckers recipe. It is really easy to do. It is basically just what I call the dump recipe. Ya just dump it all in and turn it on. I have since progressed to purchasing a used Bosch Universal Mixer on ebay. I have been using the Bosch for a while, now. One of the perks of using a Bosch is that I can make 5-6 loaves of bread which will feed a larger family. I can freeze the extra loaves for convenience purpose if necessary. I hope you like the picture! I will be adding the yummy recipe!
