A couple of weeks ago we were at a mission conference in Cincinnati at our home church. We had so much fun being reunited with old friends and spending time with family. The church was wonderfully encouraging and generous. The speaker was refreshing. What a blessing!!
When we got home we jumped right back into the swing of things here at home. Finally we had time to try making our butter. My goal was to make it without using electrical appliances... but... easier said than done. I finally decided that it was better to make it right and not waste the cream than it was to keep shaking the bag of cream FOREVER!!! So, we resorted to the blender.
The process is so much fun once I figured it out. And it taste like butter!! Imagine that! Quite honestly, the best butter I've ever eaten! And Jamie agrees whole heartedly!
Since then friends have tipped me off to some Pampered Chef and Tupperware items that will make the peanut butter and butter possible without making ourselves crazy!! I'm starting my Bush Kitchen Shopping List. The Amish have a lot to contribute to my kitchen too. A dear friend even offered me her mothers old hand crank food grinder. It's beautiful how the Lord provides.
A little while back a friend asked me if I would guest write for her blog. She told me I could write about whatever I wanted to. God has been teaching me so much lately! I love learning and growing. So I just wrote a bit of what God has been revealing to me. Feel free to check out her blog and what God's been showing me at www.gracebyfaith28.blogspot.com.
A wonderful friend surprised the girls by taking them to see Disney Princesses On Ice, and while they were in princess wonderland Jamie, Warrick and I went to check out campers. We were pleasantly surprised by all the options, had lots of questions answered, and now know what we will be looking for when the time comes. We also compiled our "To Do List" for getting the house ready for sale. Whew!!! What a list. Three small kids can be pretty hard on a house.
Following God is never boring and always an adventure. Our journey has just begun, but we know God has every step planned for us.
