Yes, it's true. The wonderful website Pinterest is making it very difficult not to bake every single dessert and food item I stumble upon. If you have a Pinterest you know what i'm talking about. Almost everyone has a "board" with food or desserts or anything edible for that matter! If I see a picture of food I can't just keep scrolling down the page, it calls me. Food (even pictures of food) is my weakness, specifically desserts. I mean how can someone see a recipe for "White Chocolate Truffle Cupcakes" or "Carrot Cake Cheesecake" and not drool!

As you can see, I have a bit of an obsession for food. So it shouldn't surprise you that when I recently assigned to write a praise poem about something (anything) I chose food. I know I could have gone many other ways with this poem, and no food is not my god, but I thought it was a comical and creative way to express my love for dessert. x)
So here it is! My original poem titled, "Praise for Dessert"

Praise be to God for Peanut Butter Fudge;
Whether it is sinful or not, I’ll let him be the judge.

Smooth and dreamy on my tongue,
as soon as I ate it my taste buds sung.

With the perfect balance between nutty and sweet,
I’ll never say no to this delicious treat.

Praise be to God for Campfire S’mores;
After your first one, you’ll keep wanting more.

Taking a bite, chocolate dribbles down,
If desserts were royalty this one deserves the crown.

Ooey gooey marshmallows all over your fingers,
This camping treat is a ding, ding, dinger.

Praise be to God for Fudge Brownie Sundaes;
they can make anything better, even dreaded Mondays.

Warm fudge brownie piled high with ice cream,
I pinch myself to see if it’s real or only a dream.

Mounds of whipped cream with caramel on top,
if this is all a dream I hope it never stops.

The Goodness of Easter and Good Friday

Well it's been a while since I last posted anything. I've been pretty busy with this whole "high school senior graduation" stuff. :p
Anyhow, I thought it was about time to write on here again. In case you didn't know tomorrow is Good Friday. It's the day remember Jesus's sacrifice for us. In my years of growing up in a church, i've thought many times about Jesus's death. At times, i've even wondered why he had to die at all. But now I see that back in the Old Testament, whenever someone sinned they had to make a sacrifice. This sacrifice was always some sort of living creature that would shed its blood as a sacrifice. That's why it is so significant that Jesus our Lord shed his blood for us. He was our sacrifice, but unlike any other sacrifice, he came back to life. How amazing is that!

Now I don't know about you but I like to get daily devotionals sent to my email. There are two different ones that I get. One, is from Joel Osteen Ministries. The other is, God's Daily Promise. I wanted to share with you something I got from God's Daily Promise the other day. They are two hymns:

"The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; the Passover of gladness, the Passover of God. From death to life eternal, from earth unto the sky, our Christ hath brought us over with hymns of victory." - The Day of Resurrection   John of Damascus (eighth century) 

"The strife is o'er — the battle done, the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun: Alleluia!The three sad days have quickly sped, He rises glorious from the dead; all glory to our risen Head! Alleluia!" - The Strife is O'er   Latin Hymn Symphonia Serenum Selectarum, 1695

Aren't they great? I just love them! <3 I think they're perfect in remembering what Easter is truly about. :)
