Off the charts!

Our Daily Bread
As you might know, I like science fiction movies.  How many times I have I heard something like "Gosh, captain, the readings are off the charts!"  "We have never seen anything like this before!"  "Our instruments can only read up to one kazillion whatevers and this thing is more powerful than that!"  hahaha

I say things like this about our God when I read the Bible.  Yes, I choose to simply believe the stories in the Bible.  Instead of trying to explain the phenomena that we can't grasp, I choose to believe that God has the power to do these things whether we understand them or not!  Are we really looking for God to act in today's world?  It is confusing at times. I choose to believe in our everlasting, amazing God!

Lord, our minds cannot comprehend you power and glory.  Our hearts cannot accept all the love you have for us.  Please help us have faith and to praise you no matter what!

Foodie Friday
One of the treats I made for the bake sale tonight is called Lazy cake cookies.  Lazy you say?  Yes because the recipe only has a few ingredients and is very, very easy!  I made it with a white cake mix and used the Spring color chips with some Mint M&Ms. I have also made this with chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips for a fudgey treat!

CELEBRATE CALM

I refuse to give you power over my attitude and mood.
I refuse to allow you to dictate my response to you.
I refuse to give you the power to change my behavior.
I refuse to allow you to steal my peace and joy.

You can be mean. I will be kind.
You can hurt me. I will forgive you (but not trust you!).
You can be a jerk. I will have mercy.
You can be bitter. I will be grateful that I don't have to live with that poison in my soul.

I cannot tell you what you are going to do.
But I can tell you what I am going to do.

This is self-control. This is humility. This is dignity.
