Fondue Valentines








Well, tonight was an awesome night! I had the opportunity to spend my Valentine's Day with family and friends. We called it our "Fondue party" We had it beautifully set up with candles lit everywhere and fancy snacks. We made up some lasagna and momma made a cream cheese/marshmallow dip for pineapple and strawberries. We made some delicious Mexican hot chocolate, and of course, our fondue. We had marshmallows, pretzels, and strawberries to dunk into the chocolate. We had a wonderful night full of laughter and love for one another. My daddy did a devotion on love and did a marvelous job. It is so wonderful to constantly be reminded of what true love really is. It isn't a warm fuzzy feeling or something that just happens, it is a choice. A choice we all must make whether we realize it or not. Tonight I realized how much family and the good friends we have are so important in my life. We all love one another and constantly share a bond that can't be described into words. Looking into the faces of all who was here, I realized how much we need each other. We were all each others "Valentine".:)

Broken Heart

Do you ever feel like the world is crumbling around you, like you will never see happiness again? We are living in a world crumbling morally; a world where heart ache happens every day. Though we still have a light....that light is the Lord Jesus Christ. He never promised days without pain but he did promise he would carry us.

Broken Heart

The wind is blowing fierce,
Clouds are coming fast.
All my hopes and dreams are fading.
My heart is breaking; I am falling.
Lord, help me; save me,
I cannot see you.
Where have you gone my Lord!
I hear him, he's calling my name.
O Lord, why did you leave me?
Why, my Lord, would you allow me to fall?
Why would you leave me just when I needed you most?
Then I heard him,
A voice most tender and understanding-
"My child, did I not promise that I would never leave you?
I never promised an easy road
But I did promise I would carry you.
