Just so ya know

Hey y'all! Just so ya know I'm in the process of improving my blog, so if you notice anything out of the ordinary, don't worry!  I'm working on it!  :)  I've been trying to add a navigation bar and I can't seem to figure it out.  The one you see now hasn't been updated because I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit it!  Plus I'm having computer issues.  Go figure.  :p  Anyway... Blessings and may He bless you this fine, and beautiful morning! Sarah

Mustard - great for burns!!

Burns.  Who likes them?  Not me! I seem to draw getting burned, for it happens to me quite often.  Seriously.  It happened to me this past week.  I was rotating something in the oven when my pot holder (that's what we call them) fell out of my right hand and into the oven; well, this can only mean that my hand went straight to the HOT cookie sheet!  It happened so quickly that I didn't have time to pull my hand away, so I got a nice BIG burn on my thumb - like the WORST place ever for a burn!   I immediately walked to the sink and ran cool water over the effected area.  After about 3 minutes of that I grabbed an ice cube and placed it on my burn, this seems to have "cooled" it down for a few minutes.  I've never had a a burn, well, burn for that long!  It went on for about 2.5 hours!  Ugh the pain!  I felt like my finger was on fire!   So where does the name for this blog come in?  Here it does: Mustard.  It's amazing stuff.  You can eat it.  You can u

Praises in the fall

Hello my lovelies! Fall is here!  YAY!!  This is by far my FAVORITE time of the year!   The weather change; the change in color/scenery; crisp, cool air that almost takes your breath away; EVERYTHING about this time of the year makes me happy. I find myself desiring to make a steaming cup of apple cider with a cinnamon stick to give it that boost of fall smell. :-) And maybe this is just me, but I feel it's not fall unless I smell apple-spice candles.  Please tell me I'm not the only one?  Funny thing with that though, is that I normally get really bad headaches whenever I'm around certain candles (i.e. cupcake, blueberry muffin, senses like that); but these do not seem to bother me.  If there are REALLY strong, then forget it.   Check out my Pinterest board, called  Autumn .  It has some really pretty pictures of the beautiful season!  Now - after looking through some of those pictures - you can't  tell me (for I surly can't) that this beautiful

About me

Hang on readers, I'm just trying something new here.... Okay everyone I am trying to add "About me" and "Contact me" buttons (not sure if that's what they are called) and I can't seem to figure it out!  The one that I am trying to add is like a tool bar - is that right?? - and it rests underneath my blog title.  Can any of y'all help me out?  I've Binged "How do I add an 'about me' button to my blog" a few times but none of the findings seems to have given me any specific answers on how to actually add it - I know it doesn't help that I'm a visual learning and having to read and figure out what the writer is trying to say AND do it in the process, is quite a challenge. :-p So, if anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks and blessings, Sarah

Lead me through this storm

Couple of the things God has been teaching to me: 1.   I am constantly humbled by God. No matter how many times I try to be "two beats ahead" of the Lord, He humbles me by reminding me that I'm not in control; nor will I ever be.   His timing is always right.   His timing is always perfect.   I am neither. "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." James 4:10 2.   Man will always disappoint.  God will never disappoint. I never knew this truth to be so...well, true!  I must put ALL faith, hope, trust, and confidence in the Holy One, because He will never let me down nor leave me.  "I will never leave thee, nor forsake( leave in straits, leave helpless; totally abandoned, utterly forsaken; to leave behind among, to leave surviving -I thought that to be interesting)  thee." Hebrews 13:5b There have been many times when I so badly wanted to ask the Lord about this little storm we ar
