The Cinderella Syndrome...

Artist; Carolina Elizabeth

The Cinderella in all of us...

I feel pretty, oh so pretty....

Ta Daaa!

Everyday we awake with a whole wonderful script written out for each of us.

 We have all the lines and scenes all ready written out!

We get to play the leading role....

Your Cinderella

(The Princess)

And we all have a Fairy God Father

(The King of Kings)

We all have a wicked step Mother

(Satan the big deceiver)

When we stop looking in the mirror and examining

our own faces and our body size.

And;

Start looking into His word and examining our hearts!

We really do become pretty and you act pretty.

Remember Cinderella, she did do all the right things;

It was a matter of her heart and obedience to those in authority.

But the key here for me is this;

There is only one true authority, and I am His loyal subject.

I don't want to ride around in a pumpkin

And where glass slippers.

But I do want to feel loved and valued.

So what we are called to do is to love others;

Help them to feel special and reward them for their goodness.

Giving honor to others will put you in the right place.

Most issues are heart issues!

Jealousy, bitterness, and anger will keep you

from being a Cinderella.

As in God's eyes if you have given Christ your heart first;

You are now a real princess!

And you do not even have to ride to the great banquet in a pumpkin.

So many are looking for a fairy tale story!

"Why not live your very own real life story"

Be who He has created you to be...

May the real Cinderella please stand up...

Do not give up and keep your heart open to His direction.

Here is a lovely bouquet of flowers for all you do,

Ordinary Task In Ordinary Days...

Do You find yourself daydreaming?

Well, wake up sunshine!

Hopefully you're living your dream...

Ever notice that what you thought it would be like is not anything;

like it at all?

Well, according to my calculations, every time 

"I thought I thought  it out"

It always was a wee bit different then I imagined.

And oh, everything is subject to change,

NOT CHANCE

But, His divine providence!

Do Mondays always get you down?

Well knock it off honey cause Mondays are the beginning

of a Homemakers week!

How many loads of laundry have you done so far today!

Let me guess, Hmmmm

How many children do you have?

You get the point/////

Remember on Sunday you resolved to worship;

Well, Mondays you need to resolve also to schedule your week.

One thing that always helps me is that we only have one day,

At a time to manage. And if we manage today well, tomorrow.

Will go smoother!

Cleaning and scrubbing and folding laundry can be a form of worship.

It is in the ordinary days and the ordinary task that bring

 "Glory To God"

We are called to clean and refresh and tidy our hearts our lives

And our homes...

(Take this time to prepare)

Being prepared for what your family needs!

Take joy and pleasure in this day!

Remember faithfulness in little things is a big thing!

Spiritual progress can be stopped by grumbling and questioning

Make a plan, be flexible, smile!

Don't take things too seriously, so when something serious does happen

You can be calm and slide right down whatever obstacle is put in your path!

Living From Glory To Glory...

Barns And Their Beauty...

Barns and their haunting beauty...

They stand in majestic stature.

No matter their age or how they have withstood the years.
They are beautiful...

Some barns stand in solitude in a field all alone...

They have stood so long, that their last coat of red paint

has faded to a rustic color...

Some have windows, with the glass panes long ago broken out and missing...

The rust has set in on the tin roofs...

A gray barn seems to say "I am different and I am Okay"

This barn has been kept in prime condition,

It has had many face lifts in its many years!

Lonely and unattended...

Proud and tall and on its original rock foundation.

"A firm foundation"

Even to the setting sun

You are beautiful...

Barns are as American as apple pie and freedom...

A green barn seems out of place, but it was quaint!

Country and stylish...

"A working barn"

Large and lovely she was a grand barn in her day...

Barns were part of the livelihood for the American frontier and families...

A barn is a home to these little ones...

This barn is on a big incline;

It was probably hard in the winter snows and ice...

A side of a barn...

This barn was over 100 years old!
Just better with age...

Which way is the wind blowing?

How many hands have touched this barn door handle?

Good fences and boundaries keep us safe...

"Fields of gold and amber waves"
The breadbasket...
  

The harvest is gathered and placed in the waiting barns...



May this be a blessing to all who get to see the amazing
 Heritage we have in this country
"May God bless America"
From sea to shining sea...

Just Hurry Up...

 Silly Rabbit

 The Winner

Would you just hurry up!

People are driving like they are all on the way to the hospital;

With someone in labor in the back seat.

Everything we are doing now days seem like we are in a race.

I think of that story of the tortoise and the hare.

We all know how that ended;

We have this mentality that if we are fast or the first one;

We are the winner....

Wait a minute here, was it not the slow one who just kept

going in the right direction that won?

We see very little patience in our world today!

Being slower has been perceived as being a looser

If it takes a bit longer than a little bit of time it is wasting time.

I do not want to have to hurry with everything I do in a day.

For I may never pass this way again....

What are we missing when we find ourselves tired and stressed?

There is a peace that we should carry for all the world to see!

Have you had the feeling, like I want to just quit?

GOOD

Now, we can take a step back and resolved our hearts to go

At the pace God has given you.

Our purpose is not to be the first one to cross the finish line.

But rather be able to be counted on as to be present and available.

Now, that silly rabbit shot off that starting line like he was going to win the race.

But, because he did not pace himself, he grew tired and stopped to take a nap.

(Is the church sleeping or napping)

Believe me, there are days all I want to do is just stop and take a nap.

Nothing wrong with naps, if we are pacing ourselves;

And we keep ourselves on the narrow way and keep going on in,

The right direction...

We can't give up and stop running our race.

But rather let us keep a steady pace and enjoy all that we have,

Going on in our lives!

So let us not be silly rabbits!

If you have started something, finish it!

How To Make Homemade Granola With Walnuts And Coconut...

Making your own Granola is a very practical and cost effective.
This is a staple food item for eating as a cereal or using it on top of your yogurt.

You can improvise with many different choices of nuts or fruit.
I think what makes this granola work for me, is the coconut oil I use in it!
Also the coconut sugar, but you could use brown sugar if you like.
With so many recipes I have tried, they call for too much honey.
 and that makes it so wet and harder to dry.

The flax meal and wheat germ are added for extra nutrition.
But you can also eliminate them.
Also, you can also leave out the flour.

But it is the coconut and chopped walnuts that make it so yummy.

After it has completely dried out in the oven, I then let it cool
 And store it in an airtight container or a glass jar!

You can really taste the difference between fresh granola
and store bought brands. And the cost of the store brands has
doubled in cost. And the packages are smaller too.

Homemade Coconut and Walnut Granola

I wanted to share this my fewest closest 100 friends!

Every Granola I have made in the past has been lacking in either texture or taste;

So here is my creation of a Granola I would be willing to share…

Heat your oven to 250 degrees;

 (But you will turn it off to the lowest setting or the Warmer setting to bake it.

In a 9x13 pan

Place 3 TBL. Of organic coconut oil

1/3 cup of organic coconut sugar in the pan, place in oven to melt, only a few short minutes.

Pull it out of the oven and now add this mixture.

¼ cup mixture total of,

 2TBL. Coconut flour, and wheat germ, and ground flax seed (1/4 total)

 Now stir this into the melted coconut oil and sugar in the 9x13 pan.

Mix it up a bit; Now

Add 2 cups of organic rolled oats to the pan

1/3 cup flaked coconut

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Mix this up and place it in a turned down oven to the lowest setting!

Stir often and watch carefully so it will not burn!

This needs to be only a warm oven; turn it off if it gets too hot;

You are only trying to DRY this mixture NOT cook it!!

Allow to cool well and store in a Glass jar.

Enjoy!
