Cake Shopping

Next, comes the fun part of shopping for a wedding cake.  Now, I don't know about you, but overall I am not a big cake eater so this could be an interesting challenge to find just the right cake.  I am not as concerned with how my cake will taste as I am about how my cake will look. :)  That is the most important part to me...that the cake will look good in my pictures.  So off my mom and I go to check out all of the bakeries in town and see what will be the best options for us.

We started out at Daily's Bakery and spoke to the cake decorator to see what our options would be...after visiting with the cake decorator and seeing the bakery we decided this just wasn't going to be our best option.  So off we go again.  We spent one Saturday just driving by and going in to each of the bakeries to see if they made wedding cakes and seeing what each bakery looked like.

Here are a few of the cakes that I was looking at:




We finally decided to have Sugar Mamma's Bakery make the wedding cake.  They were super friendly and easy to work with (which is extremely important to me).  So after visiting with the owner of the bakery and giving her my ideas for what I wanted my cake to look like and what flavors I wanted the cake to be we were off in a good direction.  The first cake below is a very unusual cake for a wedding, the second one was a consideration for my actual wedding cake.  It was a great relief when the wedding cake was ordered.  Now if you want to see the actual cake that I chose, you must come to the wedding to see it, because the actual cake won't be pictured until after the wedding :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God.  "Trust in God and He will show the way."  Do we really understand what it means to trust God?  Can we truly comprehend this statement?   It's easy when things are going our way.  It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well.  However, do you still trust God when life is hard?  When everything seems to be going wrong in life?  Do you trust God through the hard stuff?   There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.  When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right.  The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night."   Think about the words to that song.  No matter what, God is still God.  He still has control over the outcome.  Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

God's timing

My kids love to watch Superbook, it's a cartoon about Bible stories.  Today the episode was about Lazarus and about God's timing.  This past weekend I heard a song on the radio and I can't remember the song, but one of the lines talks about how faith can move mountains and God can still perform miracles today.  I have been thinking about those two lines this week, how God can move mountains and still perform miracles today.  Do we have the faith to stand and believe this statement?  Then watching Superbook with my kiddos this morning, it was all about God's timing and that sometimes God has a better plan for us than what we can think or ask for. Have you ever felt when you were praying that you just didn't know how or when your prayers would be answered?  Sometimes, it doesn't feel like your answers are coming or that your prayers are going anywhere.  Did you know that God still hears each and every one of those prayers?  It just might not be His ...
