Quick breakfast?

O boy! Thanks to Pinterest I discovered the quickest way to make breakfast, especially if you have children. I was babysitting my cousins and we made cinnamon roles... in the WAFFLE MAKER! It took 1 min and 15 seconds and they were done!

I bought the pillsbury roll of cinnamon rolls and placed four in my waffle maker, shut it and in 1:15 they were done! Yes, they looked like waffles but of course you treat them like cinnamon rolls. So I put icing on them and the kids had them eaten within minutes! If I would have done the traditional oven way... the oven would not have been pre heated in the time we ate them!

When I make them again I will post pictures!

Forever Changed

I must say... I was worried growing up about my brother coming to Christ. I knew that it was my job to be a Godly role model, but other than witnessing to him it was all in God's hands. I prayed that it would happen before he went to college and got caught up in the "college life." Losing Jake Hodge changed my life and made me realize life is too short and you truly do not know when your last day will be... therefore, live it to the fullest and strive each and every day to be like Christ. I thought to myself... what will happen to Aaron (my brother) if he goes to college and gets in a crowd that doesn't make God first and he marries a girl that isn't a christian, etc. etc.... so I prayed... everyday.

I got a phone call one day and it was Aaron telling me that in the middle of class he realized his life could end today or could go on for another 100 years and he was not a Christian. I immediately cried and thanked God for answering one of my most important prayers. Since that day, he has impacted so many lives with a song he wrote. He claims he cannot sing but the boy can rap. So he created a Christian Rap that was from his heart and explaining how he is "Forever Changed." I encourage you to ask Aaron and Erin to come to your church and perform and hear this song in person and purchase a CD to help them financially spread the word and minister to teens and kids their age.

God is amazing,,, and he answers prayers!
