Fudge and Cookies

Last night I made fudge. Family secret recipe fudge to be exact. Vicki says its better than see's candy fudge.

I love this time of year because I get to do what I do best. Bake. Cookies, Fudge, Cake, and Dinner Dishes. All for endless invites of dinner, lunch, Christmas, just because get togethers.

More importantly this time of year reminds me that I'm on a mission. That I'm here for a reason. Two years ago I was driving to LA on Christmas eve and almost died in a car accident. Two days later I was in Mexico serving as an interpreter on a missions trip with my friend's church. I had lost my glasses in the accident and had to use half my Christmas earnings at walmart to buy some clothes and essentials to make it though the week. It was such an interesting experience to be partially blind and rely on others to help me read and get around a bit. Yet for the most part I thought I could still do everything fine. I didn't to see clearly.

I think we are like this with our faith sometimes. We have some sight, but its blurred. We think because we can make out objects that its good enough. I believe God wants so much more for us. He wants us to see perfectly the things of his heart and of his word. This year is going to be the first year I have ever read though the bible and I think its awesome. I can see how just being in my word has dramatically changed my life and helped me see and experience what God desires of me.

I love this time of year, what it means, what happened and what it will mean in Christmas' to come.

So all I have left to say is bring on the fudge and lets Celebrate!




PS Lets try and not set the oven on fire!

(That's not my oven, its my friends. And Yes he did set it on fire by accident.)
