Perfect Peace
The Lord has been gently whispering to me about His Peace. I desperately need His Peace in my life. The last few days there have been Scriptures about Peace popping up from different sources like friends on facebook or something I just happen to be reading. It is quite obvious that The Lord is trying to tell me something. I really do need His Peace and I seek it! I will pay attention to what He is saying and I will study what the Scriptures say about His Peace.
This morning I woke up with this Scripture on my mind. Then when I went to read my Bible, this verse was part of the Scripture Reading Plan for today. ( I am following a plan to read through the Bible in a year, which I am terribly behind on!) Do I think this is a coincidence? Absolutely not! God is working on my Heart and I am going to pay attention!
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
I am sorry I have been absent from this blog. I miss being here and I miss you all! This Summer has been a bit busy, but I also have had a hard time just sitting down to write. I really do hope to be here more often. It is like therapy for me to write here. Thank You to the Faithful few that still read this. I hope to be back real soon!

Lemonade Cake
I am always looking for a new recipe to try. Unfortunately for my waistline, I tend to be drawn to dessert recipes! I happened upon this recipe the other day and just had to try it.
Back Many years ago a friend's mom would make a cake very similar to this for our church home group. I do not remember her putting icing on it though. I just remember the moist lemon cake that I just loved!
Lemonade seems to always go with Summer, so if you enjoy lemonade, you should try this yummy cake! I do recommend a light fluffy icing to go with it. When I made it, I used a buttercream frosting. I believe a lighter, fluffier icing would go better.
I found this recipe here and it originated from here.

Ingredients:
1 box lemon or yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 can (6 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 container Whipped fluffy white or fluffy lemon frosting ( I ended up using a buttercream frosting.)
Yellow colored sugar, if desired
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make cake as directed on box for 13×9-inch pan. Cool 15 minutes.
2. Mix lemonade concentrate and powdered sugar. Pierce top of warm cake every 1/2 inch with long-tined fork, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking. Drizzle lemonade mixture evenly over top of cake. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
3. Spread frosting over top of cake. Sprinkle with sugar. Store covered in refrigerator.

While this recipe is very delicious, it did not seem to measure up to my friend's mom's version. Pam, if you happen to be reading this, please send me your Mom's recipe!

Yes, I Am Still Alive!
Hello There and Happy Friday everyone! I have missed being here and hope to be here more often! I miss all my Bloggy friends!
Life has been busy, but really, that is not the main reason I haven't been here. I just have been in a "Quiet" mood. I am not sure what it is all about, but I have just wanted everything to be quiet! Crazy, since I am the mother to 10! Where do I find quiet?
I actually started a post a couple of weeks ago, but never finished it! It is all about the happenings at our house during the month of May. I hope to finish it up in the next couple of days. Now I will have to write about June too!
Maybe this is what God is saying to me right now!

I will be exalted among the nations,
