A few quotes, cooking day, snow!

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be.

‎"A woman's heart should be so hidden in God, that a man has to seek 

Him just to find her." -Maya Angeloux

 {Thanks Lauren}

"I am a part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed." The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed, my presence makes sense and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, love with patience, live by prayer and labor with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner is clear: I am a part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed."  "


I found that last one on my friend Kelsey's blog. :D

"If you thought about yourself, tell it to go to hell because that's exactly 

where it came from." -Brigham Young. 

{this was on my friend, Annie's mirror.... whether or not Brigham really said that or not.... your guess is as good as mine. but it sounds good!}

I wish it would have turned out spicier. 

also, I have been cooking ALL day. wanna know what I made??

Red beans and rice. mmmmm southern dish. It takes nearly 4 hours to cook.

Corn bread

dark chocolate peppermint cookies. {for the getting fat is fun party.... that sadly got canceled because the host is sick! :'( }

I haven't had this in forever! When i
make a southern dish, i usually will
 make jambalaya. not this time. :D

I sometimes am too lazy to use my dslr camera
to take pictures after i cook.... I need to change
this. because these pictures aren't cutting it. 

it feels so good to cook a full meal!! I haven't cooked/baked in a while. well.... 2.5 weeks since Taylor and I made cookies. But those are a piece of cake....err cookie. 

This, this is what it is supposed to
 look like in Logan in january. 

In other news- IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to go sledding tonight. :D
