Resurrection Rolls and Resurrection Eggs have become our Easter tradition the past few years.  This year I hope to add Resurrection Cookies. Resurrection Rolls are easy, fun, and they taste great!  Do them the night before Easter, or the morning of....whatever floats your boat. Directions for Resurrection Rolls : Give each child 1 triangle shaped section of a crescent roll (crescent roll represents the tomb) Dip a big marshmallow in melted butter , roll it in cinnamon and lay it on the dough (these represent the oil and spices Jesus' body was anointed with) Wrap the dough around the marshmallow (marshmallow represents Jesus) Pinch the seams...this is important Bake as the pkg says on the crescent rolls Cool, break open the tomb (roll) and it's empty!!!  The marshmallows gone:) Resurrection Eggs You can buy these in the store already made or you can make them yourself much cheaper. Get 12 plastic eggs and label them with a Sharpie #'s 1-12....

Skin peels can be very expensive.  I mean, they ARE expensive.  And for that reason, I have never had one...although I want one, one day.  I found a recipe a while ago for a homemade skin peel that I have yet to try.   It's hard to make time to pamper myself when I have 3 young boys, if ya know what I mean!  And sometimes we just don't feel like we are worth pampering ...or that maybe it's too ungodly or too vain to indulge in such things. I don't think so.  You are God's Princess!  You are a saint (if you are born again and washed in the blood of the Crucified One, Jesus)! John 14:6 You are a child of the King! I believe it's a godly thing to strive to be attractive for your good ole hubby.  He sees you in your housecoat and fleece pajamas too much...with no makeup and your hair a mess.  (You know, like I am today:))   Anyway, I started using a different cleansing routine for my face and exfoliating my skin (which is ...

I am still reading My Utmost for His Highest (my best for His Glory) by Oswald Chambers for my daily devotion.  I also read Daily Declarations for Spiritual Warfare: Biblical Principles to Defeat the Devil  by John Eckhardt.  Today the Lord showed me how they intertwined as He taught me from His precious Word. Oswald said, "Watch for the storms of God."   That's easy because you pretty much know when you're in a storm.  Someone once said that all of life is either going into a storm, coming out of a storm, or living in the storm.  But God wants to teach us something through the storms .  Oswald said, "The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms.  Will you be proven to be an empty pod with no seed inside?  That will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of the vision you have seen.  (What vision has God given you?) Let God send you out through His storm, and don't go until He does....

When I was a teenager I had my wisdom teeth removed.  The next week I went to youth camp and ran and screamed and jumped and hollered.  A few years later I had my tonsils and adnoids removed.  Soon after surgery instead of drinking milkshakes I begged my Mom for a chalupa from taco bell...and I slowly ate it.  I was hungry!  Years later I gave birth naturally (supernaturally) to three sons in about four years.   Each labor was different but I was hungry after every one!  I will have to share my labor stories with you sometime.  Don't worry, they are wonderful stories! Well, Friday I was having stomach pains all day and I also had sharp pains where my appendix was.  I doubled over in pain and told my husband it hurt worse than natural childbirth.  I broke out in a sweat and then got cold chills.  We decided to go the ER. The night before I felt like I was getting a stomach bug.  I laid on the couch and rub...
