Pioneer Woman comes through again...Prune Cake and meatballs. Worth every calorie if I might say so myself! Moderation. Yes. Moderation is the key!

The sun is shining beautifully outside this morning. It rained all day yesterday. I love the rain. It makes me sleepy. I am still sleepy today, but the sunshine helps wake me up!

Let me begin by saying that I do not have an obsession with the Pioneer Woman. I have just enjoyed her recipes!
Tonight I made her creamy mashed potatoes and blackberry cobbler. Delicious as usual! I have made the mashed potatoes a few times. You can make them ahead and then bake them the day you serve them. The way I found out about PW was from googling for a mashed potato recipe. I did not know anything about her. Shortly thereafter I learned about her cinnamon rolls, and the rest is history.

On Sunday, our choir sang the text that is below. I have highlighted the portion that has been going through my mind this week. The thought that Christ, who knew no sin became sin for me has overwhelmed me. What a great Savior!
When love came down to earth
And made His home with men,
The hopeless found a hope,
The sinner found a friend.
Not to the powerful
But to the poor He came,
And humble, hungry hearts
Were satisfied again.
What joy, what peace has come to us!
What hope, what help, what love!
When every unclean thought,
And every sinful deed
Was scourged upon His back
And hammered through His feet.
The Innocent is cursed,
The guilty are released;
The punishment of God
On God has brought me peace.
Come lay your heavy load
Down at the Master’s feet;
Your shame will be removed,
Your joy will be complete.
Come crucify your pride,
And enter as a child;
For those who bow down low
He’ll lift up to His side.

By nature, I am NOT a still person. I get it honestly, I do believe from both my Mother and my Grandmother. We do do do and go go go. But one verse the Lord impressed on my heart during my college years was Psalm 46:10. I struggle. I have to ask the Lord to help me be still. I have learned that He will put us in places to make us be still, as well. Those aren't always easy times, but they are the most beneficial, because He is my Shepherd, leading me beside "still waters" no matter how the world might view my circumstances!
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
Still my soul be still
And do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow
God is at your side
No longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow
God You are my God
And I will trust in You and not be shaken
Lord of peace renew
A steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone
Still my soul be still
Do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows
Hold onto His ways
With shield of faith
Against temptations flaming arrows
Still my soul be still
Do not forsake
The Truth you learned in the beginning
Wait upon the Lord
And hope will rise As stars appear when day is dimming

Tuesday afternoon is our Bible Club time. I am always grateful to see how God calms tired, wrestless children, especially during the teaching times. As I looked over the crowd yesterday, my heart is overwhelmed to think that one day each of them will stand before the Lord. How I pray that the seeds of the Gospel being planted will bring for fruit that remains.

Wednesday. Benton is coming to play! The weather is beautiful. A trip to the park may just be in order!
