Mountain Dew Cake!!!

I am the kind of person who finds a million amazing recipes, but I never actually cook them! Usually because it requires flour, egg whites, or something else ridiculous! Well, one of my friends at work has been asking for a Mountain Dew Cake. So a few days ago I went on Pinterest and found a recipe that sounded pretty simple and good, and now my cake is cooling!!!!!! (I do not cook a lot so this exciting for me!) :)

Here is where I got the recipe and mine is identical to this one, even the pictures look the same! Hopefully, everyone at work will enjoy this treat tonight!

Have a good Friday!

Our beautiful God.

The cross showcases the beautiful kindness of God as His wondrous love releases sinners from their bondage and guilt through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. -Matt Chandler

We deserve His wrath, but He refuses to give us what we deserve. He gives us unconditional love that never fails.

Random Picture of the Day.

This week has been a rough week and reading Matt Chandler's Explicit Gospel took me away from my hectic life for a few minutes. I think it is important for us to remind ourselves everyday that what Christ did on the cross paid our bill, and we do not deserve it but our God loves us SO much He sacrificed His son. Thankful. 

Bad Day, Great God.

Today was the big day. The day that I took the GRE. I had a feeling I would not do great but I was hoping for the opposite...well I did not do great. So now I am paying a tutor and taking it again over Christmas break, oh what a joy! Taking the GRE today really pushed me to look into different schools, instead of just looking at the one I am extremely interested in. I am also reminded that the Lord has plans for me that are different than my own and I need to back up a minute and realize that. After having a breakdown and having an awesome friend help me realize how blessed I am, I came home to my sweet nephew who I have not hung out with in forever, which reminded me even more of how truly blessed I am. Thank you Lord for the great friends and family you have blessed me with!

Papers & GRE

Currently, I have a 13 page article about Autism in front of me, and I am trying to do a 4 page review on it. Reading this article reminds me of how blessed I am, kids who have Autism, Down Syndrome, or any other disorder struggle every day and I take my life for granted, my heart breaks for these sweet kids and adults battling these disorders....

Random pretty picture for the day.

Today was WING day! :)
Every Thursday, my friends Aimee, Ashley, Heather, & I get wings, since we have FREE WRINGS FOR A YEAR. And last Thursday & this Thursday were just a hoot, the Lord reminds me I have some pretty amazing friends! Aimee is such a good sport, too. She just chauffer's us around and deal with our silly conversations and comments! Ashley brings out the 5 year old in me and it is just a laugh fest, so thankful for these girls!

In 10 days, I will be taking the biggest test in my life so far, the GRE, over the next 10 days I am going to put something I learn from my book on here in hopes I will remember better. :)

What I learned: FOIL is the best way to solve (4x+7)(3x+2) kind of problems. First terms multiplied (4x*3x)=12x2 Outside Terms: 4x*2=8x Inside terms: 7*3x=21x Last terms: 7*2=14, combine like terms! 12x2 + 29x + 14 (I THINK THAT'S RIGHT!)




Have a wonderful Thursday, remember to be thankful!
