my sous chef

you will find this stool pulled up to the counter in our kitchen many afternoons with a junior sous chef affixed to the top. do you like help in the kitchen? i found this little gem at a yard sale a couple of years ago for $3(the stool not the jr. sous chef). isn't she a beaut!

God's will

did a morning quiet time on the topic study of God's will and what it means in my life and the life of the followers of Jesus Christ. all of these scriptures are taken directly from Bible and offer much incouragement to a heart that longs to do what the Lord has planned for me.
1 Peter 4:19So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

1 Peter 2:15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.

1 Peter 3:17It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Romans 15:31-33 (New International Version)
31Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there, 32so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. 33The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Romans 1:9-11 (New International Version)
9God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
11I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—

Romans 8:27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

Exodus 18:14-16 (New International Version)
14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, "What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?"
15 Moses answered him, "Because the people come to me to seek God's will. 16 Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God's decrees and laws."

real face

ok...i know i am late on this and that the rest of the blog world has posted their real face for the world to see two weeks ago. i had full intentions of getting to this post at the time but the five letter word P-R-I-D-E got in the way. so here goes...

this is the sequence of events that lead to the decision of waiting on the post

took this picture with my cell phone. thought that i looked ridiculous smiling at the camera with a towel on my head. so i didn't even look at the camera. period. end of story!

then the silliness of not facing the reality that this is what i stare at each day in the mirror hit me(plus the fact that this is how God made me and He makes no mistakes. much to my dismay in my areas of insecurity.)

so i pulled out the daily regime

again really couldn't make myself look good with the cell phone (even after the regime) so i asked mr. dc to take a picture of me for the blog

exhibit a...obviously not the picture i was looking for.

exhibit b...do you like the rhinestone belt that was from about 6 seasons ago? again not what i was after.

exhibit c...all taken by mr. dc in his order of infatuation. settled on this one as the final shot. the blurriness fades out some of the pore imperfections. just a day in the life of the amazingly blessed domestic chick and a slightly incapable photographer husband:)
