Hope From God

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. - 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

I need this verse pasted on my forehead. This verse has such hope and promise in it. I read it and I believe it , but when it comes down to the fire fight, I forget and start to worry and fret and get great anxiety.

I think we all are this way, that is why we have to commit these verses to our hearts and minds to recall them in one of our many lifes battles.

When we go to battle each day, we need our sword and the sword is The Word of God.

When you are in the heat of the battle, commit this verse to your heart and mind and recall it, claim it and satan run away crying like a baby...

God Bless

Girls Night Out=Many Yummy Cookies

A great way to have a girls night out and not feel guilty about doing it is to have a Cookie Exchange. This is great fun...you get to spend time with you friends and come home with a load of different beautiful cookies...This is a time saver.

Here's how to have a Cookie Exchange with your friends, family, neighbors, church or community group!

* Invite 8 friends

* Everyone make 8 dozen cookies to exchange.

* Ask everyone to bake their family's favorite cookie and try to make sure there will be no duplicated recipes for the Cookie Exchange. The more variety you have the more fun it will be!

* Cookies to be exchanged should be wrapped well; placed either on plastic plates with saran wrap or in inexpensive disposable containers that are airtight.

* Attaching a copy of the cookie recipe with each dozen is always a nice touch, be sure everyone includes their name and any information about where the recipe is from, how it originated or at least a few words about how much their family enjoys the cookies.

* During the Cookie Exchange serve warm beverages such as coffee, hot cocoa, hot apple cider or herbal teas in pretty cups.

And most of all, enjoy this fun time with your friends! Thas What Works For Me!
Here are two really great sites that have loads of information and helps for pulling off a successful Cookie Exchange.
