After school treat

I was in the mood for something sweet.  So I started looking online for chocolate chip cookie bar recipes.  I have tried numerous times to make chocolate chip cookies into bars (rather then tediously rolling in the dough into small balls and cooking up a pan or two at a time for seems like forever).  I've never had any real success, especially when I have tried to make them healthier with wheat flour.
I'm trying out the recipe from this website: http://www.tammysrecipes.com/oatmeal_chocolate_chip_cookie_bars

Hopefully they will be delicious!

The joys of a little girl

Chances are if you have a little girl in your house, you also have a mess similar to this.  My little girl loves buying & receiving hair stuff (even if she never ends up using half of it) & perfumes, lotions, etc.  Oh & those rubber bracelets from the parade & various fundraisers... which I still have no idea where to store.

Today I felt like shopping, but instead decided to tackle a quick project at home. 

What quick project can you tackle this week?

Verse of the day, from BibleGateway.com

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:6-8 NIV

I love this verse, I love it for the obvious reason.  But I also love it for the fact that it says "at just the right time".  I love when things happen at just the right time.  That waiting for something to happen, especially when it takes months, or even y.e.a.r.s. is so difficult and trying, no matter what you are waiting for.  I get that, I promise, I really do.  But remember while you are waiting to have faith in the one who gave His only son for you.  Use your waiting time to draw closer to God.  He loves you, you are worth being loved.  So whatever you are waiting for, find time to meditate on the fact that you are awesome.
