Life is Crazy

***Sigh*** How is it that life can just so busy with stuff?  Stuff that makes you forget about what is really important in this life.  Life got hard. Life got too busy with things that were unimportant in the big picture. But, life also got better.  

Through challenges that we each face, if we are willing to deal with the hard work, we can walk away from "life lessons" with the knowledge and the strength that is only provided by our Almighty God.  We can build family unity, we can break the chains that have held prior generations back. We can open our hearts and families to truly accept the blessings that our loving Father wants to lavish upon us.  

We can learn to put our trust in God entirely.  He will provide. He will heal hurts. He will heal families.  But we have to let Him.  

Here is our family:

Hope's 5th Birthday



 I love this cake!  The technique is the simplest decorating method I've ever found.  Start to finish decorating was only an hour, and that included freezer time :)
