Life... oh, life! I am not sure where the time has gone. I have often been so disappointed when I have shared life with a blog friend, prayed together, encouraged each other and became friends just to have them disappear without a trace. It makes your heart sad. You wonder if they are ok... are they well? You think of them often. I have received sweet notes, cards, and gifts from such people. With that being said... I am sorry I have been absent. I have been doing life and doing it rather big. After another email today asking where I have been, I have decided it was high time to check in with my blog friends.
"Down on the Farm" and "Farming On Faith" Robbin and Carrie
Have you ever wondered just how neat it would be to meet your special blog friends? Well, most of you know that a couple of years ago we moved to our little capital city of Missouri. And that very thing happened. I will never forget the day my husb…

If Creation Praises God...I will Too

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: Isaiah 43:3

Missouri is lush and green this time of year. I love the green, green grass of my home sweet home. The Holy One of Israel is an amazing Creator. I can't help but praise God this beautiful morning along with all Creation.
Did you know that God is called the Holy One of Israel 25 times in the book of Isaiah and it is the main name of God used throughout this book? The word "holy" describes the Lord's absolute moral purity and it declares that He is far greater than all of the Creation.
If all of Creation praises God~ than I will too. Have a sunshiny day!

Make Your Own Jalapeño Jelly~ Super Easy!

If you are like me ~ you have peppers galore! This is a great jelly to can now and use for Christmas parties and or gift baskets. It is SO easy! I am about to whip up another batch or two.

Jalapeno Jelly~

2 green pepper ( You need 4 cups of peppers total)
1 red pepper
6-8 Jalapeno peppers
7 cups of sugar
1 1.2 c. vinegar
1 box~ Sure-Jell

*Seed the peppers and grind them in the blender with vinegar.
* Boil pepper/ vinegar mixture in a pot and add sugar; boil for 15 minutes.
* Add Sure-Jell and bring to a full boil.
* Stir for 2 minutes.

Makes 6 jelly size containers.

Pour over cream cheese and serve with crackers.

For Canning~

Remove from heat and skim any foam. Ladle hot jelly into hot sterile half-pint jelly jars, leaving a 1/4" headspace. Wipe rims clean of any spillage. Top each jar with seal and band. Tighten to fingertip tight. Place filled jars into a water bath canner and bring to a full rolling boil. Allow processing for 15 minutes after it comes to a boil. Once time has elapsed, rem…

Are You Fearful?

Fear not! Are you fearful today? Most women struggle with fear in some fashion or another. Even Mary, the woman chosen by God to bear His Son, struggled with fear. I have battled with fear my entire life. It truly is the thorn in my flesh and has been since I was a small child. Yet~ God does not give us the spirit of fear.
When we accept Jesus Christ into our life as our Saviour~ we are looked at by God with favor. That is something to celebrate on this beautiful December morning. "Fear not, _________: for thou hast found favor with God." Just put your name right in that blank. Rest in that thought today as you face the busyness of trying to get it all done. Rest in that thought as you may have fear or anxiety today. Rest in your Father's arms and fear not!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his …

Missouri Is Reopening...ready or not here we go.

Photo Credit~ My Girl
Missouri is reopening our state...ready or not here we go. There are so many different thoughts and opinions. Is it too soon? Should we have shut down at all? What will the new normal look like? How do we really move on and continue to grieve over those who have lost loved ones to this pandemic?

Yesterday, I sat in a staff meeting as we planned on how to safely reopen our church and keep people safe. It's a concern that everyone has right now. Even those trained to deal with this really don't know what is around the corner. But here is what we do know...God knows what is around the corner.

We have had a scary thing happen. Life as we know it has come to a complete halt. Yet... we have had storms come and go before. This morning I am reminded of Peter in John 21. Jesus asks Peter three times, "Pete, do you love me?" Peter, of course, tries his best to tell the Lord that he for sure and forever and always will love him. I mean Jesus did have a …

I Know I Am Just A Little Late

Oh-my-goodness! I have started the new year a little late. Blame it on the sickies that I caught the week of Thanksgiving that just kept on giving and giving until New Year's Day. We just celebrated Christmas this past Saturday with our out of town family and so I am just now planning my new year. I am starting the year off behind already. I am just a little late. But I am so thankful to be well.

If you are like me you don't want to make resolutions because you don't keep them anyway. But I feel like that is the oldest and lamest excuse for not making myself reach beyond my normal and set some goals for myself. Like maybe stick with my low-carb, no sugar and no grain diet so my Lupus stays quiet. Or maybe strength train my body so I feel good. Maybe ~ control my schedule so it doesn't control me. And oh yeah.... there is that 15 pounds I want to lose. You know what I mean?

But maybe this year I will ask the Holy Spirit what is in my life that I need to let go of and …
