Sweet Potato Fries

I have been putting pureed sweet potatoes in everything lately.  We had homemade waffles tonight and I put half a cup of pureed sweet potatoes in them with cinnamon...yummy!  I even put some in a hot chocolate recipe.  That one wasn't too great.  I want to share with you one of the ways we like to eat sweet potatoes....

Sweet Potato Fries! 

Peel em, cut em up (however you like em), put em in a bag and season away!
Put olive oil in the Ziploc bag with the potatoes and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, a little curry (because all those are really good for you!)  You could also add cinnamon or whatever else you like.

 
 Then mix them all up in the bag and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

                              Bake at 450 until tender and enjoy!

The Unseen Abuse

 I tried not to talk about it. And before you get any ideas, I’m not talking about my husband. A counselor told me that emotional abuse is harder than physical abuse for several reasons. It’s unseen. The lies, manipulation and brainwashing can make you think things are okay, but they aren’t okay. The gaslighting and gift giving can cause utter confusion. Maybe they’re nice after all? But why do I feel so drained?  Emotional abusers are like emotional vampires who suck the life right out of you to get their fix, at your expense.  All they care about is how they look to others. They may be physically there but emotionally absent. If you set a boundary and don’t let them near you, they find someone else to torment. I use strong language because it is intense. They cause deep pain to those they hurt but they don’t see it. They lie and cause turmoil and try to break apart healthy relationships. It’s truly sad.  If you find yourself struggling with anxiety or depression and you can’t find th

Not how I planned it...

  Everything about my life right now is not how I planned it. That doesn’t mean I don’t like it. It’s just funny how when you surrender your life to God, He takes you to places you never thought you would go.   I never thought I would leave Oconee County in Georgia. I loved living there. But we have lived in Kentucky and West Virginia and Cleveland, Georgia throughout the years.  I said I would never marry a guy from Oconee but I did. I thought I would go to the University of Georgia and try out for the cheerleading squad there. Instead I felt led to go to a Bible College in North Georgia where I met my husband (who was from Oconee County). I went to school from Kindergarten through 12th grade with his little brother who was my age, but I had never met John until Bible College. Only God knew.  I didn’t see myself as a kid person and didn’t want to have kids right away…but God changed our minds. At 22 years old I was pregnant with our firstborn and then we had lots more. Four boys

Should I Have More Kids?

 When you have little ones, the days are long but the years are short. I can’t get over that my oldest is 17. When I was a young Mom, older women would tell me that they wished they would’ve had more kids. I have the same regret, even though I have 4. ”Be fruitful and multiply” right? But I also know the loss and grief of miscarriage. I had one after Titus when I was 14 weeks pregnant and the doctor thinks I may have had a couple more. God is in control. I’m thankful for the blessings He has given and realize that all good gifts come from God and I don’t have control over it. God opens and closes the womb. He gives life and takes away. He has a plan that we don’t see here on earth…at least not all of it. When I look at Titus I am so thankful we said yes to God when He asked us to surrender to having more kids. That was hard. But I don’t regret surrendering to the Lord.  You can read about my surrender story in my new Bible study called The Art of Surrender found at www.beboldbebrave.or
