Trainees, Hurt Feelings & Thankfulness

Nothing to do after work tonight, just have the Wednesday ho-hums....Work was okay..still helping with mentoring the trainees and so it went kind of quick.

I think one thing the Lord is really helping with is biting me tongue. There were a few times today that I did want to say some things that were not so good. I was allowing my flesh to 'rule' and had to keep capturing those thoughts.....I am of course confessing here. There are certain things that people do that just really tear at me---and I am pretty positive I do things that tear at others too--known and unknown.....But, I think the thing that really bugs me the most is when people are trying to get into a conversation that had started 15 minutes ago and then they want all the details (we were not gossiping) and you know that they just want details to see what they can talk about to someone else later---that just really makes me want to scream....

Also, one of the trainees got so upset and discouraged today that she cried. I felt so bad for her. Our boss pulled her into a separate office and then there went the hens just gossiping away about what made her cry....when they could not figure it out, they started guessing and making up stories....Now these are grown women with husbands and kids, some in college--I just really had to stop myself from saying alot of stuff---walk away and just know that they are lost--they have no Jesus....they are hurting badly too and they just don't want anyone to see.....Yes, sin is sin...gossip is sinning you are not treating your neighbor with too much love are you??? Yet we know that people talk and gossip about others so noone looks at them---sad isn't it?

I am so glad I bit my tongue---I could have said a lot and would have hurt more hurts or made new ones--more to gossip about....I am so glad I have Jesus.....I am so glad that I am still learning yet I know not to do it....I am so glad I have Jesus---and I hope I never cry in front of them---actually do I care? I should not. I saw and heard what happened.....and when this girl came out of the office as I made my way to the fax machine, the clique dispersed and was acting like nothing happened and then later on they were asking her if she wasy okay....was there anything they could do for her....UGH!

I just had to say it....I just had to get it off my chest....Though it is on paper....it is now before my Lord and He will handle it--like He always does....Jesus forgive me for what I wanted to do. Forgive me for judging. Forgive me for anything else today that had me in the need to bite my tongue and capture thoughts....thank You Jesus....

Not All That Bad

ok, so, I didn't do all my chores today---because you know it is a Wednesday and that something just comes with that day. I did do my dusting and left overs for dinner and can you believe Nonny is still doing homework? She is a turtle today too.

Nonny's dishes are still waiting for her in the kitchen and she has to dust the computer----that means I will have to leave it soon....

We are still pretty much on track....just been a tiring day....

Something Beautiful

I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
I want a new a new beginning
One without any end
I feel it inside
Calling out to me

CHORUS
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful

I've heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I've felt it in a long hour
Like a sweet embrace
I know this is true
It's calling out to me

CHORUS
It's a voice that whispers my name
It's a kiss without any shame
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing love will take us where
Something's beautiful

It's the child on her wedding day
It's the daddy that gives her away--
Father Something beautiful
When we laugh so hard we cry
It's the love between you and I

Something beautiful

Believe, Believe, Believe

One aspect of Christianity that I am very 'interested' in (for lack of a better term) is spiritual warfare, prophecy and intercessory prayer....one of the issues I struggle with daily is prayer. I don't know how many others do, but, I do, so is it not the Lord's humor that I would be hungry for that? I love to pray for others and lay hands and wait on the Lord to see if He has an encouraging word. I love to do intercessory prayer because you have the honor of standing on someone's else's behalf...I love spiritual warfare because--well you know!

I am sure you may be scratching your head going, "if she is hungry for all that and loves doing it, how does she struggle with prayer?" I struggle starting it....well, I should say I used to struggle starting it...I believe the Lord has delivered me from such things. I used to look at the clock and say, "I know once I start I am not going to stop for a while and I don't have enough time." Well....I have learned to start putting aside time specifically for prayer. Because I enjoy intercession & warfare and praying for others---this consumes alot of my time in prayer (which is ok) and I write down alot of stuff during the day ---i.e. Jane's Mom was admitted to the hospital over the weekend....John's wife just found out she has breast cancer...Mary's daughter is addicted to drugs....Joe's niece is taking a state board exam...etc......well, then I want to fight the good fight---I want to make sure I have a part in knocking down the enemy who may try to hinder all these people's lives......this is why it can take some serious time and I would struggle with time in doing it...I say prayers in the morning yes, but, nothing like I wanted and nothing like I was doing when I came home from work---see what I mean???

So I am hoping to put alot on this post about prayer, interecession and warfare...in the trenches. I am praying the Lord just fills me up and gives me wisdom, understanding and knowledge concerning it all and be able to blog it all here and all the outcomes too...

Just remember with faith the size of a mustard seed you can say to a mountain move and it moves and where 2 or 3 are gathered together there He is or ask for it so you can receive it (you don't have because you don't ask--read James), believe, believe, believe....whatever we bind on earth is bound in Heaven and whatever is loosed on earth is loosed in Heaven.....keep the faith and stand firm---His Word will not return void (empty)--it is impossible for Him to lie because He is truth!!!! believe believe believe ......

See you soon....

Keeping On.....

Today we kept right on schedule again! I came home and vacuumed the front hallway and cleaned the toilet. Nonny is out doing the dishes and then she will vacuum the living room. It is trash night so she already took care of the recyclables and trash....I get to hold the flashlight for her while she does it all because I have yet to buy a motion light for the back of the house and it is dark here now at like 5 o'clock.

I also had to clear and set the table and of course cook dinner....My next encounter will be to finish up with the floor of "what are you doing"...the 'wall of what" is gone! What a relief.....

Another thing I need to conquer is the armoire that holds the linens...I have a wicker basket all set aside for the washcloths---it is almost guaranteed in my house that if you reach into the armoire you don't know if you are going to pull out a hand towel, bath towel or wash cloth....so that is another event that will be taken in....

Ok so now....off to take care of other things, see you soon.....

Homework & Christmas Trees

Nonny's homework tonight is putting her spelling words in alphabetical order. Word problems for math....teaching her how to label them and 'showing' their work. My daughter does a lot of her math work in her head---so this is a great challenge for her to have to show her work and label it---they are asking quite alot from the daughter who does not like to show you how she got her answer. Another thing my daughter does not like is to read anymore than she find absolutely necessary to do....she is a really bright child...just has her ways...she didn't get on the honor roll by NOT doing her work, she does it, she will just want you to pull out YOUR hair while the work is in process....lol

She is reading The Secret of the Old Clock - A Nancy Drew Mystery right now.....she seems to be enjoying this book. She finished a Little House on the Prairie Book 1 and that is longer, I told her she should be proud of herself.

She helped decorate the Christmas tree at church Sunday during class (that is what their class did) and got a big thank you email from her teacher today because even after class was done she and a few others continued to help--ahh, she makes a Mom proud.

Trainees & Womens Group

There are some new trainees at my job. I am part of the support team to answer alot of questions and such. It made the day fly by--which is fantastic. I am still sweating I think though.

I always worried I am going to tell them the wrong thing. I pray to the Lord and just ask Him to make sure I don't tell them something wrong. I did ok today. There are 6 new trainees. They all seem to be doing well....some a little bit more anxious than others but for the most part well.

I am working 9-5:30 right now until my car pool can find another ride for her son to school in the morning.....it is great to be sleeping a little later or even staying up a little later, but, when we get out of work it looks like it is 9 pm! Crazy. Things are going just the way He planned and that is the way I have to look at it.

We had Bachelor(ette) lasagna (see Yummies:Meals) for dinner. It was yummy. Definitely enough to have for tomorrow night.

Last night's women's meeting was great. We watched a video, did the study and prayed and some prayed on me--which was great. We listened to Consume Me by DC Talk...the goodies were yummy too and I had a nice hot cup of tea--warms you up in the winter. We are doing a study from the book Counseled by God by Mark & Patti Virkler...Mark has quite the sense of humor! If you ever get the chance you should check it out.

One of these days, I am going to get my Christmas tree up!!!

Another Tooth

Yes, my Nonny lost another tooth last night. A back one. Her teeth are way ahead of time, if you get what I mean....The dentist had sent us to the orthodontist and the orthodontist stated that her mouth was that of an eleven year old....(if he only knew--hahaha) Anyway, she is nine and is losing back teeth has lost all of her front teeth---hope she wont need braces---obviously that is the reason for going to the orthodontist in the first place!!!

It was back to school for her today too....she is learning quickly about managing her time...The teacher had given her a science project 2 weeks ago that was not due till tomorrow, so guess who is sitting in the living room right now doing her project??? Yup you guessed it!!!

She will learn eventually, there are so many things I want to do "for" her or always remind her--and I am learning too that she needs to find out these things on her own and what the consequences are for managing time properly/not paying attention....etc....

Anyway, I had a womens meeting at church tonight and am pooped. Need to read a little of the Word before retiring.....will hit the Coffee House Chatter tomorrow--maybe....I have more chores listed for tomorrow because there are no meetings....:O)

see you soon,
Lill

Bachelor(ette) Lasagna

This recipe was given to a friend of mine by a college student and I had it for the first time about 2 weeks ago....my daughter loves it.

1 bag of frozen ravioli (any kind, we had the cheese one first , tomorrow we will have the beef)
1 jar/can of your favorite spaghetti sauce (we will be using Ragu tomorrow)
variety of cheeses (we will be using mozzarella, mexican mix and cheddar)
Olive oil and/or butter--your preference, I use a tiny dab of one of them to keep the noodles from sticking together too much. I also put the olive oil (about a tablespoon) in the pasta during boiling.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the frozen ravioli per the package directions.
Drain (don't rinse) the ravioli, mix a dab of butter or olive oil with pasta in bowl.
Add sauce mix.
Then layer in 13x9 baking pan or a casserole dish. Layer of ravioli then layer of cheese, layer of ravioli then layer of cheese....

The first time I had this--there was zucchini in the layers too---mahvelous dahling, simply mahvelous.....

Give it a try. Serve with a nice green salad or steamed green beans with some Italian or garlic bread.
Very good, fast & easy....

See you with another recipe soon!!!

Day One of new Chore Schedule

So here I sit day one with my new chore schedule for me and my daughter and guess what??? It worked marvelous....we actually accomplished everything!!!

I had dishes, sweep the kitchen floor, clean the bathroom sink. Of course with the dishes comes wiping down the stove and cleaning the table. Nonny had vacuuming the living room and she did fantabulous!!! No complaints, she also had to set up and clean up the table...everything was done wonderfully and in a timely manner and I just can't believe how short of a time it really took!!!

We have our everyday chores too, such as cleaning the litter box, getting out the recyclables, getting clothes and lunches ready for tomorrow.

Dinner was easy it was leftovers. Tomorrow night we will be having Bachelorette Lasagna (I will be putting that on my Yummies: Meals tonight).

I am very happy with this list of chores so far...well, that's it for organization...next topic...

Refrigerator, Turkey and Jesus

Well another great day from the Lord. Church was great, I taught today so I ordered a CD of the sermon...I will listen to it tomorrow at work....

Came home and did some organizing and lists, and hey while I was cooking I cleaned out the refrigerator....was not too bad, the drawers did need some cleaning so I took care of that.

We had hot Italian turkey sausage, homemade mack & cheez (see Yummies: side dishes), corn on the cob and green beans. After dinner, did dishes, made sure everything was ready for tomorrow and then my daughter and I sat down and watched Passion of the Christ...Does not matter how many times I watch this movie---I always want to jump through the TV and grab them to tell them to stop hitting Him....and I cry....Nonny was very touched by this movie....she is starting to grasp the whole point, if you get me....she is really starting to understand what has happened and what had to happen.

I have a few more things to do before signing off---I am waiting for my babysitter's husband to call to let me know what time he is going to work so I can catch a ride---double check Nonny's back pack and lunches....she is going to bed now...so I will catch up with you maybe tomorrow but most likely Tuesday....I have a Women's Group @ church tomorrow so I will running in from work---dinner--homework---chores--out the door type of thing and maybe getting home in time enough to blog and watch Heroes :O)

God bless all of you,

Lill

Another One Bites The Dust

In my journey to organization come some more issues that are being accomplished---you can now walk through my living room and I am almost ready to get up the tree!!! Woo hoo!!!

I have dared, in my journey to organization to start paying attention to what I am doing.....that would help heh???? See my daughter and I have 'random' chores, so this and this can get done any day of the week or when we feel like it and there is a few set chores for my daughter yet the only one's she seems to keep track of is trash and recyclables (I am not complaining). So, I have made a list---a chore list---finished it today!!! From the help of a friend (you know who you are :O) ) , I have a set list.....now Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays seem to be our 'busiest' days so the least amount of chores will be done those days....I do work and my daughter is at school, so running home and getting dinner and then doing a simple chore and then be able to get where we need to--and still get a chore accomplished???? I can do that! My daughter is even happy with the list!! She is excited to be vacuuming! She has done it a few times so she is happy she gets to do it more often now and at a more set pace.....

I also received from my friend :O) a master grocery list---much easier to understand then some I have seen--so I was able to set up mine!!! Another accomplishment today....wow!

Also from her :O) I received a meal planner---this is going to work great for me.....planning meals and money and time all in one!! woo hoo! So we are on the adventure tonight or Tuesday to conquer that list---my next grocery shopping adventure is not until the week of Dec 14th so I have some time to get the list & meals together---I want to introduce a new meal a month, along with a special dessert a month that my daughter and I can do together.....she is also going to be helping prepare dinner on Mondays and Fridays because those are my busiest days---so she will start with some simple things....whew!!

I can't believe how much I have already finished today!!! woo hoo!!!

Onto dinner and I will blog in the Coffee House Chatter to end the night tonight....back to work and school tomorrow!!!

Cleaning & Cats

Today made for an eventful day. I have to say I was busy and then had the socks knocked off of me.

I was continuing with getting some stuff sorted through and put away from my What are you doing? on the floor....I did get alot put back in the office in a neat and orderly way. I have a friend who is going to help me out with other things (thanks)....I am in the middle of trying to create a 'master' grocery list so I can just make copies and then highlight what I need.....

Tonight was a left overs night for dinner, tomorrow I believe it is back to the stove. Nonny took care of washing the dishes and putting them away tonight and is now in the living room watching the DVD of Peter Pan. I did not get the tree up yet! Tomorrow after church I will be clearing a space in front of the bay window for it.....so that means more of the stuff on the living room floor will get put away (woo hoo)

Alot of sirens tonight in my neighborhood, lots of fire trucks and ambulances, I pray every time they pass.....or I hear one....

Well our cat Lilah scared me to death tonight....she had another seizure. This is the second one, that I know of.....since we had her (since March 2007)....she had ran and tucked herself under the china cabinet this time, so it was very difficult to get to her.....I reached under as best as I could and pet her, holding her head with one hand so she didn't whack it and petting her with the other while I prayed to our dear Lord to take whatever this is out of her......Vet says, believe it or not, this is not so rare.....let me make a foot note that I have talked to many people and they have said their animals (even horses) have them too....I grew up with any kind of animal you can name (okay no chickens or goats) and I have never seen this before....it scares you half to death and the Vets do not recommend any medz unless they are having them frequently and no, 2 (that we know of) in 8 months is not frequently enough to drug her---which is fine with me---she recovers by pacing and eating like a pig (sorry for the pun), I have to move the dish off the floor because she literally eats her dry food whole, just gulps and swallows, and then drinks and drinks and pants and then sleeps and sleeps....right now she is next to me on another folding chair getting ready to attack my feet because they are moving....

It is so scary to watch and be around...she is only 2. According to the humane society she was born in a home and raised there till the owner passed away----I know we had problems with the foods here,yet I brought her home after that---the Vets said that we don't know what she was fed before she came to the humane society---that is kind of unnerving. He said she is in great shape and just the way a cat should be----whew.....well, I will not lay on it too much, I will let my Jesus take it---here You go Jesus, take care of our Lilah-Jayne.....

Well I am now emotionally and physically drained......

See you after church,

Lill

My Meat-uh-balzz

Again, no measurements really, it is a guess-timate whenever you see a measurement or I know it is that exact measurement....my meat-uh-balzz:
Ground beef
Italian bread crumbs*
Black pepper
Parmesan cheese**
Garlic powder/salt/or cloves***
Onions, diced or powder/salt***
Oregano****
Parsley****

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Add all ingredients in a big bowl to your own liking.....I add alot of garlic and onion...my daughter loves it when I dash in some hot sauce. I make big meatballs, so again do them to your liking....I roll them to desired size by hand (this is a great thing to have your kids join in on, just make sure they wash their hands!), put in baking dish (I use a glass 13x8 usually) and bake approx 30 mins or until fully cooked (browned)---remove from dish, add to sauce or serve plain...enjoy!

*I love the zesty Italian bread crumbs
**I use fresh parmesan cheese whenever I can.I either serve these on torpedo rolls or with pasta and salad.
***I prefer fresh onions and garlic
****I do use oregano and parsley from the "spice rack"

Floor of What Are You Doing?

So as I told you yesterday the Wall of What?? came down and is now the Floor of What Are You Doing? in the living room. I have made a huge dent in it all---there is room to walk now and sit on the furniture---lol....I may have been tempted to tickle your curiosity with a picture had I a digital camera....but, then I am happy I can not satisfy your curiosity.

I have a bin now that has strictly arts & crafts in it--and we have a lot of it, so if we want something we may have to take everything out of the bin to get to it....maybe a set of plastic drawers instead of the bin will solve that issue.

I have a cardboard box of folders, shoeboxes of letters & cards and photos....whew....but it is getting there....soon it will be the Where Do I Put It? post--lol

I have to invest in some bookends or a small bookcase for the "office" to keep like dictionaries, Bibles and such on. I have a small wicker basket that is right now holding envelopes, index cards, post its, book marks, bus schedules and the like.

A small plastic filing "box" holds important papers and paid bills.....I need something for my yarn, I don't want to put it in the arts & crafts bin because there is alot of paints and glues---I have it in a store plastic bag right now....I would put it in a wicker basket but I have a cat and Lilah would love to get a hold of that!---the images of my house in yarn going through my head now----

Found some cute pictures and a little wood shelf that Nonny painted to hang on the walls in the office.

Oh yeah, for those of you who don't know, I suffered a fire last year and that is why I moved here, it was an electrical fire and seems that I have lost my computer speakers to it....I need new computer speakers now---yes I can do without them---but I like them!!!

Any ideas or suggestions are always appreciated!

Nonny's Christmas List

I asked my daughter to make me a Christmas list...she didn't put much on it, being that she knows what the true meaning is and I have tried to not "commercialize" it in my home...So on her list she put:

*Baby stroller: a real one, not a toy one toy one's are too low and I am too tall.
*lap-top: I really don't need it.
*Nintendo gameboy DS: I really really really want it.
*Crayola tools for my arts and crafts.
*something for Lilah. ***this is our cat***

Thanks Mom

Day of Re-Blogging and Shuffling

I have to have some tag that I can let you know what is going on with me daily! So here it is, Coffee House Chatter.

Today, it was so nice not to wake up to an alarm clock, or rush here or there....today it was nice to look at my surroundings and say "I don't have to do anything today, go nowhere, do nothing." It did not stay that way. I have a broken computer desk so I needed to get my computer onto something else....a folding table and then it took me forever to get my mouse to work.....But alot of moving and jostling and fannagaling (not a clue, hope you know what that word is). I didn't cook (oh my) had bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, homemade mac and cheese for lunch and a ham sandwich for dinner---and lots of coffee....lol

Nonny watched movies all day while I configured my "re-blog" and did all kinds of stuff to it....it will always be a work in progress.

It is quite cold here in the 'office'...with the wind chill factor it is probably like 14 degrees outside. I am glad I am inside. I did do some blog surfing and came across some interesting blogs here.

I am really thinking about what else I would like to put here--if anything.....I am going to start a Bible study....maybe the Bible book by book here??? Or a word or subject study??? People study??? Suggestions???

Anyway, that is all I did today....it is amazing. I thought I would put up the Christmas tree but too late for that now....I will put it up tomorrow or maybe Sunday after church....

All of you, my friends that are in warm spots....a friend in Aussie I miss you, write soon...I have a co-worker who took off for Florida for Thanksgiving and another co-worker who relocated back to California....well we are getting ready for the snow (yes I know, sorry, but let's just face the facts) SNOW, it will be coming soon...in fact the weatherman stated there was some flurries out there today.......it is coming....

I am really putting some thought into a digital camera.....and dressers....organizational things....yeah....lots and lots of plans.....

Till later,

Check out my Slide Show!

Able & Equipped?

I asked for prayer from one of the elders at my church. I don't remember what exactly the prayer request was for but I do remember him saying:

"The Lord says, 'You lack nothing.' " Of course being the human that I am, and you are, what is the first thing that comes to our minds???? Materials, tangible things.....right? Just give it up---of course that is what I thought for the longest time......I didn't know what to think actually...I am not rich, I am not poor....I have food, shelter and clothing.....I have family and friends.....I have Jesus....Salvation......not for almost a year did I realize the impact of what He told me........You lack nothing......nothing....please take a moment and think about that....Selah.

You are fully equipped to any purpose He has for you---you lack nothing. You have the Armor of God, the Blood of Jesus, Armies of Angels, the Spirit of God, you can stamp on scorpions and snakes, drink poisons, you can tell demons to flee in the Name of Jesus and they HAVE to go.....You, with the faith of a mustard seed, can tell anything to go and it goes...anything, disease, sickness, poverty.....or how about deliverance from drugs, alcohol, lust, sin, sickness, mental illness, bitterness, hatred, abuse, molestation, betrayals, humiliations, gossip-----do you really need me to continue???? I get it, I really get it.....No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand.....none....we are able and equipped because we lack nothing, nothing, nothing.....we have it all, handed to us....out of His grace, mercy, love and abundance, He handed it all to us--victory, healing, love, joy, peace, mercy, grace, power over evil, do you see??? Do you see???? YOU ARE ABLE AND EQUIPPED BECAUSE YOU LACK NOTHING!!!!

Remember Paul? Of course you do. He was content in whatever the Lord gave him, whether poor or rich--why? because he understood it----he understood he was able and equipped because he lacked nothing.....do I need to say it again? Everything is given to you....all you have to do is ask. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!" Matthew 7:7-11

You lack nothing.

Wall of What?

I am so proud of myself---I really am trying to get organized. Yet every new undertaking takes---money-yup---I hate money sometimes I really do.....but, I will start saving---yes....I need dressers, a new desk, my Nonny needs a new bed (Nonny is my daughter's nickname), There are other things.....yet I know I can save the money to get some things. Other things well, I just will have to get creative......and I will believe me---one thing my Dad taught me was to be resourceful!!! lol

I have, or shall I say, had this wall of what?? exactly--still trying to figure out what that wall was. It was in a "spare" room I use for storage and makeshift office---shame on me for thinking I could put both in the same room.....I can not believe the things I actually saved....unbelievable. I did however find books I thought long lost and my shredder---lol---I can see your faces now and hear you (oh my goodness--how big was that wall?) HUGE, my friends.....I now have moved this Wall of What? to another room---hahaha----my living room.....It is no longer a wall of what it is now a floor of What Are You Doing? lol----I am sorting it all out people and have thrown alot away. I also found some Christmas tree decorations I thought were long gone too.....so a blessing has come out of my decision to get more organized.....I am inviting you on this journey. The Method in my Madness......I am going to need advice and help.....mind you now, my house is not dirty or unclean----just unorganized--lol for lack of a better term. My dishes are clean, just in all different parts of the cabinet---and I don't have those either, so I shove it where it can fit.....My clothes are clean, just........there and there. So in my cry for trying to get organized comes my confessions of disorganization.........welcome to my reorganization!

Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Baked Mack n Cheez

I don't use measurements in too many recipes, I wing it and see how it turns out. With baking (cookies, cakes and such) I do use measurements, so you will have to "play" with the recipes to get them to suit your taste......

1 lb. any elbow pasta*
1 block sharp cheddar cheese
1 bag shredded monterey & colby jack cheese**
1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of milk ***this is a "guess"timate***
1/2 stick of butter***
4 slices of American cheese****
black pepper


I use all different size pans depending on how much I need. For just me and my daugher I use a 2 quart casserole dish.

Cook pasta to box directions, al-dente, do not rinse the pasta. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put drained pasta in large mixing bowl with butter, black pepper and milk. Mix together till butter is melted.

Pour a layer of the mixed pasta into casserole dish and cover with layer of the cheeses. (cut up the block of cheddar and I break up the American). Then a layer of pasta again, and then the cheese and keep layering up till the casserole dish is full. I do not cover while baking. I cook in the oven at least 20-25 minutes till the top of the cheese is melted and the corners are turning a golden brown.....

*I prefer using either generic elbows for the pasta or Barilla elbows....you can use whatever you like.

**I use all different types of cheeses here. You can substitute or remove for taste. I sometimes use a Mexican or Italian mix for the cheese.

***I use "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" or "Land O Lakes" butter.....again if you like margarine better use that.

****The American cheese is optional.

Genesis of my daughters Tag

I want my daughter on this blog, so I wanted to start out by telling you a little about her and to have a special "tag" all about her.

She is 9 years old and wears a size 7.5 womans shoe! Yes believe it, it is true. She has sparkly brown eyes so full of life and a smile that will melt your heart.

She is honest & sincere, she loves helping out & taking care of people. She is in love with the Lord and has a faith so deep--even I as her Mom can not fathom.

She is a wiz at math, not too happy about reading and can spell her socks off. She is just getting interested in science, loves to play board games and create objects of splendor with the arts & crafts supplies galore that we have.

She has a robust laugh and she giggles uncontrollably when you tickle her. She is the pickiest eater I have ever met in my life yet tells me I am the best cook in the world.

She loves animals & ocean life, space & exploration and can spend hours petting our cat Lilah-Jayne.

She is the joy of my life.

So I will be putting little quips and stories about my daughter here. Hope you enjoy them.

My brag and boast at this time is: She made the honor roll!!!! 4 As and 2 Bs. woo hoo!!!

I remember we did not have an honor roll in elementary school--ours started in 7th grade. But now they start in 4th grade!

I am so proud of her!!
