POTD - April

April was a 5 week month so it's been a long time since a POTD post. Thanks for being excited and wanting to see the pics. Check out the Month 4 photo tab at the top for bigger size replicas of each photo, as well as a more detailed description to why it made the cut.
Enjoy!

Pesach

Passover was incredible, as always. I had a great time. I am really sad though, that due to my busyness I didn't get many good pictures. I did have some help towards the end, several of these were taken by Jack. Thank you, friend. There are many people I'm missing that I love dearly. Here's what I have...








 Raise a utensil...that food was good!







I will give one final post Passover Project update, but it'll have to be later. Thanks for asking about it.

This and that

I recently made some cupcakes for a baby shower. The girl was African and the guy Italian. I made lemon cupcakes with a lemon frosting and almond with a mocha buttercream.
Here's the cupcakes for the top of each tower.
Notice the detail on the baby quilt...that's my favorite part.
I went with A Sweet Finish for my "bakery" name. Thanks to Kait for that suggestion. I'm not 100% sure that's the one I'll stick with, but I think it's rather catchy. Thoughts?
 






















Softball season is in session...look at that tan line. Or should I say burn line?
Ouch, even with sunscreen.
Waiting at first base
 The coach in action!
 Those girls play so hard, and they are so encouraging to each other.
I could have listened to them all day.
Tom's birthday was on the 11th. Happy Birthday Thomas.
Here's some birthday treats, do you think they have enough?
 This girl loves her Papa
And her Mama too! 
We decided to be silly with the camera...here's the result...
 Look at that hand action...LOVE it!
 Ahhhh
And of course a real one... 
Hope you enjoyed. That's all for now. ;)

One last update

No pictures this time, but believe me I've got some good ones. Expect some soon.

Right now is my Passover Project update. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of G-d. This verse brings me comfort. I'm excited for Passover, although my food sign up list got out a little too late I think it's going to be a good meal. I've come to the realization that the L-rd gave me the part of His heart that enjoys good food. In all honesty, I know it's part of His heart. I know He rejoices in the fact that I want to honor Him in a celebration where we will enjoy really good food. We're going to do this one with excellence. I've been praying for it, a lot actually. I'm ready to do this one for the glory of G-d.

It's been a busy few days. I worked 3 in a row and I was a good nurse. I gave those kids, and those families the best care I know how. Although it probably wasn't as good as someone who has been an ICU nurse for 5 years, it was the best care I know how. And in 5 years, even 5 days that care is going to be even better. I did it for the glory of G-d. I know I made a difference. I love my job.

I'm still strong on the working out, it feels good to start to care about my body, it is the temple of the Holy Spirit you know? I want to treat it right. I want to give Him glory with how I treat this gift He gave me.

I still have a pile of clothes in my room to put away, but it's ok, it's not Passover yet. So I'm off work until the Tuesday after and I'm going to get some serious work done. You can expect a post Passover report that my car and bathroom are clean, my clothes are neatly put away with a tidy room to prove it. I'm going to do it for the glory of G-d.

I forgot till tonight that I was asking Him to clean me out...somehow when the dust rises I forget I asked for it. I remember now, I'm going to let him keep cleaning me. Sometimes it gets messier before it gets better.

PBlake Time

Last week I got to spend some QT with Noah and Dassah. It was great cause while Dassah slept I played soccer with Noah. He was amazing. Of course he is a Blake, but I was still impressed. I showed him how to steal the ball, and he caught on quickly. Then I snapped some pics of him in action. He made sure I got a good sliding shot. I think those were his fav.


 
Then Noah had to leave and I played with Hadassah, she was good the whole time. That made me happy.
























When Noah came back he had fun playing with my glasses.
 















It was fun being with them both.

In other news my Passover Project is going fairly well. My time with the L-rd has been decent. I went through deliverance, that was kind of unexpected. However, very beneficial. I have been working out, my body feels better and that in turn is helping me eat healthier. Sugar is another story, that's always been my weakness, I have a huge pile of clean clothes in my room I need to put away, and the L-rd is revealing lots of things I need to change in my character. I am off to a start though. Good thing it's not Passover yet.
