  • Pssssst, this is the marionberry pie, In case you were wondering. 😜 .
And yes, it was one of the best pies I’ve ever made. .And yes, the crust did fall apart and some leaves burned and it made me super bugged just to remind me that I’d chosen the lesser part. .
But, in every lesson there’s still a blessing waiting to be given. .
Yesterday I photographed the pie and if you saw on my stories I sat and ate a piece all by myself and it was glorious. 😍😂
.
That’s the way it goes, we make a mistake, there are consequences but if we choose to overcome and repent of even the little, seemingly harmless things we are given blessings, whether immediate or later on because God is NOT a God of rules or punishments. .
He is a God of growth, love and mercy. .
Don’t forget, even when we suck, and we will sometimes (or all the time if it’s me age 15-18. Sorry mom and dad and anyone else who came in contact with me) He still waits to bless us. .
It’s in His very nature to love us. He’s BOUND to loving and blessing us. .So put down the umbrella, pick up the fork and let the blessings rain down. ☔️ 🌂 🍴 🌧 .

  • Yesterday morning was not good.
.
I get so flustered with chaos. It’s so hard on me. I like things organized and everyone doing what they are supposed to. .
And there’s the problem. .
I was standing in front of the tv doing our daughter’s hair watching #generalconference and it was a gentle, eye opening experience. .
My hands were twisting her hair into a braid and the morning was playing before my eyes but it wasn’t them, and it wasn’t the chaos. .
It was the REASON for the CHAOS. .
Sometimes in the movies we see an explosion and then the fire all sucks back into place, reversing the damage and we finally see the bomb ticking and know who set it off. .
It was going to be a busy day. We had tickets to attend the second session of this great church meeting up in Salt Lake City. We would have to leave as soon as the first session ended at 12 in order to make it. 🤪
.Ahhhh but the great distractor himself knew exactly how to get me. .
The day before I’d spotted marionberries in our store. It’s my favorite berry for pie and you can only get them in the #pnw where I grew up. .
Pure excitement filled me and I bought the entire shelf. 😬
.
All day and night I kept thinking, there just won’t be time on Sunday but I couldn’t resist.I didn’t choose to wake up early to make it. I just did it. .
It delayed breakfast, made my kitchen a mess and suddenly our worldwide conference-my favorite thing ever- was starting. .
I started the morning wrong because I didn’t set the tone for our house I was more concerned with doing something that I wanted to do.
.
Sometimes we have to give up our own desires or really good things in order to keep our priorities in order. .
It’s hard isn’t it?
It feels like giving up is forever. Like we have to give away pieces of joy and happiness, even pieces of ourselves in a choice to be a mother. But that’s a lie. .
When you choose to keep your priorities in order, even when you must remove good activities from life you ALWAYS get more time back. .
Sometimes Priorities can be blurred. Sacrificing for a moment always pays off later. ALWAYS. I just forgot to prioritize. Next time I’ll remember.
  • 🍪COOKIE POLL🍪⁠
