Substitutions Likely: My Coffee Crumble Cake!
I made my first coffee crumble cake today! My recipe calls for sour cream, and I was a little short, but I made do with what I had! As a baker, you learn how to stretch what you do have and make proper substitutions when necessary. I had so much fun making this cake. My […]

Enjoying life’s gifts
This evening I explored some Ginger Peach tea that I’d stored in my cabinet. I’d been holding onto it because it had been gifted to me, but hadn’t yet used it because I find that gifts given to me are often viewed as sentimental to me. But for some reason, tonight I wanted tea and […]

I usually take final moments of the day to watch the sunset. There has been something so special about the sunset in these days; something about today’s sunset really drew me from the house to standing on the yard and feeling the grass against my bare feet. As I stood outside post-sunset, I watched the […]

I stayed up late tonight – and for very good reason. The Lord gave me the perfect reminder, and I am thankful for it. And not just that – with the Lord’s help I was able to accomplish everything on my agenda today! It was incredible to feel the work of the Lord done on […]
“Always stay the course”
“Always stay the course.” – Kaye God gave me this word as I wrapped up my nightly blogging and meditation last night, and I jotted it down because I thought it would be a useful topic to write or teach about in the future. But tonight, this word is ringing very clearly to me, as […]
