SMS Black Bottom Brownies

I have no pictures to show as we don't have our computer set up to put pictures on for now but I am back to baking.
I tried the Black Bottom Brownies and was so excited to make them for my husband who has his birthday today. He loves cheesecake and chocolate.
Well , after using 12 eggs, 2 cream cheese packets, a whole bag of chocolate chips, a Delicious chocolate bar, 2 sticks of butter, and all that goes in to making brownies, They failed.
I put them in the oven as directed, baked for an hour and took them out because they were getting brown. BIG Mistake! They didn't set up in the middle. So I thought I would let them cool and they would set up , they didn't. I then decided I would put them back in the oven. They never set up in the middle and the top and sides were so burned they were not edible.
So at 11pm, I pulled out my Duncan Hines and made my husband a chocolate cake. I think he was a bit disappointed but he will love it.
Anyway, I hope others had better luck than me.Check out Cynthia at Baking Therapist and see how she did. I'm sure they were delicious!

Something fun to think about!

Today I needed something fun to think about. So.....

I love all these cute cakes and I have a few chime ins to go along with each.
I love these flowers. I miss Spring and Summer and would love to be outside mowing my yard and watering all my flowers.

This reminds me of the big beautiful flowers of Kansas in summer.

I wish the superheros would come and find me a new house.

Or just wave their magic wands and a house would appear!

I guess I just needed a fun break.

Enjoy looking at all the cool cakes courtesy of Better Homes and Garden!

Have a blessed day!

Waiting

Waiting is not always easy. We like to think that we are all under control and OK with whatever God brings along but the truth is in this instant generation , it is hard to wait.

Last year I was in the Bible Study Fellowship and we studied The Life of Moses. We watched the children of Israel and how they complained and were tired of waiting. They wanted to be in the Promised Land today. I remember setting on my bed one night and saying I'm sick of these children of Israel and all their complaining. You know what I could see the end for them, they couldn't. They were waiting.

Every day I understand a bit more of the waiting that comes with not knowing.

Right now we are waiting on a house. Waiting for the right house, at the right price , in the right neighborhood and I'm embarrassed to say it is not easy.

God continues to assure me in small ways that He has a plan , that He is in control and I wait.

While I wait....I love my family. Pray more. Read the word more. Listen for Him to speak. And I know that this is small in comparison to some who have lost their homes and have no chance of finding a home.Small in comparison to the children of Israel in the desert and wondering for 40 years.

While I wait.....I wait!!!!

Looking for a place to call home.....

Well we made it to Indiana on Saturday. It has been a whirlwind of a month.We drove in on Saturday to snow and on Sunday of last week we got 4 inches. It has been cold and we are thankful for a warm house to stay in.

We are staying in a house of people that attend the church while they spend the winter in Florida. It is darling home and we are grateful for this opportunity to look for a house and not feel so rushed.

We have made the decision to send our kids to the Plainfield School District and we are anxiously awaiting Monday to get them signed up. The girls have done well. They are adjusting and we are enjoying spending quality time with them since we have no TV or Internet. We finally got library cards today and were able to use their computers.

We know that the Lord is in control and that He has a plan and we can't wait to see what He has in store for us.

I have missed my blog and can't wait to get caught back up with all the happenings in Blog land!
