Journal of Cookie Making

I want to make the best cookies, but I did not have all the ingredients that I "needed".

• I needed milk, but I only had sweetened milk and water.
• I needed 3 bars of butter, but I only had 2 bars.
• I needed vanilla extract, but I only had almond.

Does it matter? Who knows? I was willing to take this risk of eating all the unimaginable cookies by myself.

What else do I have? It has to be the best cookie. Mila! Yes, I have to believe that it will be the best cookie.

Surprise! My dream came true, even I did not have everything that I thought I needed. I used what I have, and they were actually what I really needed. The outcome was better than expected!

Circle Prayers

(by Pastor Todd Clark)

1. We speak 2. God listens 3. God speak 4. We listen --> back to 1. We respond

God's answers to prayers:

1. If the request is wrong, God says 'no'.

2. If the timing is wrong, God says 'slow'.

3. If you are wrong, God says 'grow'. (usually my case)

4. If the request is right, timing is right and you are right, God says 'go'.

Isiah 55:3 "Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live."
