There was absolutely no way I would have been able to make my birthday cake the day before my birthday in the middle of a fast. That would have been torture. I feel like I’m going on vacation to spend time with a really good friend. Open my heart to all that you have to teach me. Draw me closer and closer to you. Thank you for who you are, all that you do. Thank you for being so wonderful.Â
TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY
- Picture!! I took a picture for my birthday. Lol.
- Burning hand. Sigh. Been a long time since I’ve burnt myself baking.
- It will all come together.
So I’m baking a carrot, pineapple cake. There’s oil, buttermilk, nuts, carrots, pineapple, cardamom, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and a couple other ingredients. Now we may think life is like a box of chocolates ( we never know what we’re going to get). But with a child of God, we do know what we will get because Yahweh loves talking with us. What you may not know is how we are going to get what we are going to get.Â
So instead, my life is like a cake. Preferably chocolate (hello melanin). But since I baked a carrot, pineapple cake, we’ll use that. The various things I go through in life are the ingredients, some tasty (pine), some crunchy (nuts), some taste horrible. If you’ve tasted baking powder or even cardamom on their own, you won’t enjoy it at all. But they are all important parts of the cake ( my life). So as I go through the various seasons, I will remember that when they all come together it’s totally worth it – and if not here, definitely when Christ returns. I’m looking forward to that.
