Looking to the future....hope



Whatever we might be going through in our lives there is hope.
Always...always...always HOPE.

This Too Shall Pass ~~

If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-

If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-

If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-

Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains

That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

Heavenly Echiladas



I made the most scrumptious and super rich chicken enchiladas yesterday!I found the recipe on another blog and I hope she doesn't mind me linking to her site here.

www.bigredkitchen.com

Oh my gosh they were seriously so good!!
I added some cumin to the chicken mixture and a bit of paprika on top just because I didn't have the cilantro handy.I also used low fat cheese and half and half instead of the heavy cream because that's all I had but I imagine with the cream and full fat cheese it would be out of this world!
She had a ton of yummy sounding recipes so I plan on visiting her blog again soon.

It's almst Spring!


I seriously can not believe that it's March 1st! It seems like I was just putting up our Christmas tree.
The calendar says it's 2 weeks until the 1st "official" day of Spring and next weekend is already the start of daylight saving time.
Sometimes I really feel like I'm so busy that life is just passing me by like the wind.
I've been so bad about keeping my blog up this last month but well....life just happens and the time slips away from me.
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
