oswald chambers

may my complaining, whining, questioning, and discontentment cease

thanks again Oswald for letting the Holy Spirit speak through you

"God is not working towards a particular finish;
His end is the process -
that I see Him walking on the waves,
no shore in sight,
no success,
no goal,
just the absolute certainty that it is all right
because I see Him walking on the sea.
It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God."
--Oswald Chambers (My Utmost For His Highest, July 28)

along with the Bible, tonio and i read this devotional almost everyday
we were both really convicted by this particular day
i keep trying to see what's next, but God wants me to see what's now

love lindsey

poulet avec moutarde // mustard chicken
tonio and i enjoyed the mustard chicken together for dinner one night
he gives his approval, which is a translation from, "you rocked the party"
i love my husband

tarte aux pommes // apple tart 

we invited pierre and nancy over to enjoy this one together

accompanied with vanilla ice cream and a nice white wine

mmmm...i think all taste buds approved that this is a winner

cookies de banane et flocons d'avoine // banana oatmeal cookies 

whenever i make cookies, i like to have tonio check them for me

he approved the dough, then almost a plate full of warm goodness disappeared

i realized that this recipe deserves a few more "encores"

i brought the rest to the church café where they were then fully devoured

(we'll see how long this baking/cooking bug lasts - i hope for the rest of my life!)
