New Baking Ideas!

Rainbow Rice Krispy Squares!

These look a lot of fun and add colour to a simple but yummy dessert :) Perfect for a picnic! Spring is coming!!
Red Velvet Cheesecake Pops

These just seem like they'd be fun to bake and a surprise in the mouth! Probably quite heavy but delicious nonetheless!
Lemon Almond Cake

I just had a slice of lemon almond cake at a cafe I was at and it was amazing! I'd like to attempt to make my own! A light and flavourful dessert :)

After a week of retreats it's back to work. I can't believe how fast time is going. It's already March!

Learn to Surrender

How does Jesus see me? How do I see myself? What is Jesus trying to say? What is he trying to change?

World shift changes are hard. It's painful and difficult to understand. There is so much unlearning that needs to be done and so much mental work put into reminding myself about what Jesus says about his kingdom. I'm tired. I want to rest and look back, even just for a second, to a place of comfort and familiarity, but the kingdom keeps on moving forward. The Son of Man has no place to rest his head...

But I'm won to the kingdom. I'm won to the love of this God whom I praise and worship. I'm won to the love in which I have no capacity to understand and hurts to embrace. I'm won to His grace, to the suffering and trials, to His hope and joy and promise.

I know the only direction to go is forward and the only place of rest is in Jesus.

A sprained ankle is no fun. I really hope it is just minor because tomorrow is a packed day for me. Please pray for speedy healing! 

I felt the love though when my fellow housemates lent their shoulders as crutches and sang songs of climbing mountains for me on our slow walk home. I don't know why I've been getting sick so much here in Montreal, but I feel like time and time again, I'm placed in situations where I need to depend on others or ask for help. I do believe God is trying to change my worldview.
