New Seasons Ahead

"God never sends you out alone. Are you on the eve of change? Do you find yourself looking into a new chapter? Is the foliage of your world showing signs of a new season? Heaven’s message for you is clear: when everything else changes, God’s presence never does. You journey in the company of the Holy Spirit, who “will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you” ( John 14:26 NLT)."- Max Lucado

I got my weekly email from Max Lucado today. With all the many stresses I have around me right now about my future and things pulling me one way or another and trying to make everyone happy, including myself, this was just what I needed. A small reminder that whatever path I choose whatever I am called towards, God has sent me someone to keep me company. God has sent me someone that will watch over me and care for me. That is amazing to think about. That each of us has someone we can turn to, even when we think we have no one, and that someone is sent directly from our Heavenly Father. What a love he has for us? How amazed I am every single day that He loves me.

This was week two of the baking challenge. I made chocolate chip cupcakes. Very odd recipe, but also pretty yummy. When I was mixing them up I thought to myself several times that the batter looked a lot like cookie dough, but I followed the recipe so I know I was doing it right. There weren't any chocolate chips in the batter but then there was a topping that was pure chocolate chips, it was declicious. Molly ate one and said she liked them because it kind of tasted like a chocolate chip cookie in cupcake form. We shall see if they all get eaten.

Last night was the season finale of SYTYCD. It was very depressing to me because that show makes my life have just a little more joy in it. Lauren won which was great because now Kent can come back as an All-star which is just fine with me. I am going to Bham this weekend for the grandparents birthday party which should be fun. Also we are going to have Birmingham Fam Jam Saturday night. I am pretty excited about the whole thing. Good weekend ahead!

Also yesterday was Jacob and Taylor's brithdays. I hope that they both had wonderful days! I always love my birthday and I feel like everyone should get to enjoy it. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
