Make a hole in center of cake mix and pudding and add liquids

Blend by mixer on medium speed.

Add one egg at a time and blend well after each.

for approximately 1 hr. depening upon your oven

I usually bake it 55 minutes.

It Looks Like Something Good is About to Happen

The Gaither Trio

My husband and I have been listening to a minister on Wednesday night preaching on the book of Revelation and about the Lord's return to earth. He ended his sermon by leading the congregation in the song above. It really impressed me that I should take a look at my life to be sure I am ready for the return of Jesus. That is something I do not want to miss. Reading the whole chapter  (Revelation 22:1-21) tells a lot more. This is the time I wish I had the knowledge and experience in writing. Let God be your Guide as you read it.

The picture above with the verse from Matthew 7:7 which says Just ask and you will receive. This is from 365 Promises from God. The verse says "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

I an thankful that God has shown me this verse several times today and I have asked for whatever is broken in my blog will be fixed, in the name of Jesus.  We are so blessed to be able to ask anything of the Father and He will answer.  Thank you, Father, for this promise.

Psalm 91:1-16
Isaiah 25:4

Day 17 - Yesterday there were storms all around us, threats of tornados, strong winds, and hail.  I am so thankful that none of that came through the area we live in.  There was some problems in other areas, but I, as always appropriated Psalm 91.  A very dear friend of mine, who is now resting in peace waiting for the Lord's return, taught me to do this and it has always worked.  Isaiah 25 is Israel's Paise for Kingdom Blessings.  In the middle of verse 4 it says "A refuge from the storm".  Father, I thank you for Your protection in the midst or threat of storms.

PS - My dh has kept up with the news today and several in surrounding counties have lost their homes.  A woman's trailer was moved with her trapped in it, don't know if they got her out or not.  He just told me a grandmother and granddaughter both were killed because of the storms yesterday.

"In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1 NIV)

Day 14 - Today I am thankful for the Sun, Moon and Stars which God created not only to give us light by day and night to rest our bodies. If I was a great writer I could tell you all that He created the Sun, Moon and Stars (too numerous to count) for.  I know the Sun helps the food, flowers, trees, etc. to grow and helps our bodies for things other than getting sun tans, etc. Thank you, Father, for these things You created for us. There are so many beautiful things that come from these creations. You are an awesome God.
