Cookie Swap 2013


This year I decided to have a Cookie Swap
at my house.  So I made these fun invitations to
invite my friends to it.....

 
And then I had them email me their
recipes so I could make these fun
little recipe books to give each of them.
 
 
 
 Here is the first page of the recipe book :)
 

 
Then I decided to decorate the kitchen before
everyone came.  The theme was "Aprons"

 
I draped aprons over each chair so the guests
could choose one to wear at the party if they
didn't own one.

 
I found these fun gift bags with the chevron
design for the guests to take their cookies
home in...

 
My husband was helping me clean and get
ready for the party.  He decided to take
a break to get a cup of coffee :)

 
The girls are going around the table to collect
their cookies to take home with them....

 
Here is a picture of the table with the goodies
on them...

 
And a picture of us at the party :)  My husband
took the picture for us.  My mom was kind enough
to make the aprons (with the aprons on them) for
my door prizes.


 
It was a lot of fun and we had a great
time visiting and hanging out.  I
hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures :)

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis.  At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve.  Can you imagine that?  God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.   Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God."  Think about that for a minute.   In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth.  Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God."  That is such a profound statement.  Can you say that about your life?  No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...

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...

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.
