Life is Messy. Stop Fighting.

Some days just seem a whirlwind of chaos. Life just seems messy.

You mop the floor...the dog walks on it with muddy paws.

You wash the dishes...someone decides they now need a glass of milk.

You bathe and dress your toddler...they apply lotion to their hair instead of their skin.

Perhaps it is more life serious.

You go to the doctor and are diagnosed with an illness.

An unexpected bill arrives and buries you financially.

You are laid off from your place of employment.

No matter how small or big the storm is...we are ready to fight. We are ready to save ourselves and those around us.

But we cannot be the hero of our story.

We must let God have control.

For it is when we give up control, that is when God can come and save us from the storm of chaos.

"I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me."

Psalms 55:8,16

What whirlwind is creating a chaotic mess of your life today? Call upon the Lord...and be saved.

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
