Food art for a baby shower :)

My friend Kristina is due to have her baby in September
so we had a baby shower for her this past week.
I was helping with the food and decided to create
a watermelon baby carriage.  So I got my watermelon and
cut into it and scooped out all of the insides.
Here is a picture of the watermelon after I started carving
the sides to give it some character. 
 
 
I then added a handle and used orange slices
as wheels... 
 
 
Once I got it to this point, I cut up the watermelon
that I had scooped out into little squares to put in the basket...
 


 
 Here is a picture of the final product at the shower..It turned out
really well.

 
 
I also found a recipe for cheesecake stuffed strawberries
on pinterest that I wanted to try so I got a package of
strawberries...
 
 
And washed them off and put them on a cookie sheet
to dry....

 
I then made the cheesecake filling for the berries...
 
 
And here is a picture of some of the strawberries stuffed
and ready to be put on a decorative platter for the party.

 
Next, I decided to make some fruit kabobs just
as an added finger food...I took some pineapple chunks, grapes
and bananas and got to work.


 
The final product turned out looking awesome!


 
Here is a picture of the sign that Holly made for the shower..
It says Welcome Kobe.  Isn't it a cute sign?

 
And of course we couldn't have a party without getting
a picture of Kristina standing by the welcome sign : )
 
 
Here are a few pictures of the decorations before
the party began.  It was so much fun helping to plan
this baby shower.  We had a lot of fun with it.

Victory

Exodus 14:14  says "The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." When you are in the middle of a trial, it feels like it is never-ending.  Will we be able to conquer?  Will the battle plan actually work?  The devil just keeps attacking and the battle feels like it just won't stop.  Even when we know the battle plan is solid and we know what to do, it is hard.  At times, God tells us to hold our peace and He will fight the battle for us.  Do you know how hard it is to just surrender control to God?   God has been dealing with my heart lately that we need to start proclaiming the victory over all situations.  Over the sickness that we are fighting, over the stressful situations that you may be facing, just proclaim victory over your life.  We need to proclaim God's victory.  He wrote the battle plan.  He knows what your future holds.  God even understands the stress from the middle of the battlefield.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

Broken Glass Jewelry

Do you ever feel like you have been put on a shelf and no one ever truly sees you anymore?  Do you feel like your life has been shattered and you aren't sure how to put the pieces back together or even if you want to try and put them back together again?  Life can be messy and stressful and difficult, but it can also be beautiful amidst all of the struggles. One of my hobbies is making broken glass jewelry.  Do you know the process is very interesting to make this jewelry.  First, you have to find some cool china or maybe it's not that cool yet, but you see the potential of what it could be.  Have you ever thought that might be what God is looking at when he looks at you?  Do you know that God sees so much potential in you that you can't even see at this particular point in time in your life.  When we are broken or facing difficulties in life it is hard to feel like we have any value in us, but God sees so much potential when He looks at you.
