Emmy, my granddaughter, turned TWO!

Time is flying…..we notice it most when we watch these wee ones grow crazy fast!

I made gluten free and sugar free cookies for my sweet Emmy-Lou-Who. Despite the changes in the recipe, she loved them!

There’s nothing better than making cookies for the ones you love. Take the time. It is worth it!

Her first bite…..

Then it was time to lick the sugar-y icing off the top of the cookie….

And finally…..Emmy wanted to use a fork. So Momma broke it up into pieces for her. :)

An Elmo alphabet set…..Emmy loves Elmo!

Emmy loved the doll stroller that Grandpa & Grammy got her. :) ❤️

TRUST Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Continuing in my quest to use cookies to reveal what’s in my heart…..here is another set of cookies with a message.

TRUST - [truhst]
noun

1) reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.

2) confident expectation of something; hope.

The last few months I’ve been hanging on to to trusting my God for all that He has for me.
He never promised it would be easy…..but he DOES promise to be with me always (Matt 28:20).
He promises that He loves me (John 3:16) and that nothing will separate me from His love (Romans 8:35-39).

One of my favorite verses:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

God is faithful.
I will TRUST Him.

Living with HOPE Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

As many of you know I’ve been battling breast cancer since August 2018. It’s been a challenging time……and yet I’ve learned so much and am thankful for all the blessings that have overwhelmed me during this intense time.

Thankfully I have been able to continue to decorate cookies. Even though it’s not been as much as normal…..it has definitely been an essential part of my healing. I try to fit it in as much as possible. I find such comfort and peace while decorating……a truly happy place.
It distracts me from reality for a bit and provides pure joy. :)

I’m feeling led to move in a direction of creating designs that reflect where my heart is these days. It helps to be surrounded by positive, truthful themes.
So here’s my first installment of cookies with a message….

HOPE……it is so important in everyone’s life. But it is especially crucial when you face a life-threatening situation. So this time……I dwell on the hope that God gives me that we will eradicate all the cancer…..or at least stop it from growing so that I can live a healthy life and carry out all the purposes God still has for me here on earth. My faith and trust are in Him. 🙏🏻❤️

“Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.
My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.”
Psalm 119:49-50

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
