So it’s Mardi Gras season in Louisiana and everyone is grabbing their favorite king cakes. BUT….last year I took a chance on this crazy idea and it worked out to be very delicious. When I was sharing on my Insta-Stories the poll revealed that almost everyone wanted the recipe.

2 hr 30 min
Dough (Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Roll Dough)
  1. 1 quart Whole Milk
  2. 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  3. 1 cup Sugar
  4. 2 packages Active Dry Yeast, 0.25 Ounce Packets
  5. 8 cups (Plus 1 Cup Extra, Reserved) All-purpose Flour
  6. 1 teaspoon (heaping) Baking Powder
  7. 1 teaspoon (scant) Baking Soda
  8. 1 Tablespoon (heaping) Salt
Filling
  1. Your choice
  2. I used a block of cream cheese for a large cake and homemade apple pie filling for a small.
Icing
  1. 1/2 block of cream cheese
  2. 2 cups powdered sugar
  3. 2 tablespoons butter
  4. Milk (use enough for desired texture)
  5. Sprinkles
Dough
  1. Heat the milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat to just below a boil.
  2. Set aside and cool to warm.
  3. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit on the milk for 1 minute.
  4. Add 8 cups of the flour.
  5. Stir until just combined, then cover with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside in a relatively warm place for 1 hour.
  6. After 1 hour, remove the towel and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1 cup flour.
  7. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  8. Use the dough right away, or place in a mixing bowl and refrigerate for up to 3 days, punching down the dough if it rises to the top of the bowl. (Note: dough is easier to work with if it’s been chilled for at least an hour or so beforehand.)
Filling
  1. Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
  2. Apply all the filling that your heart desires.
  3. Roll the tightly.
  4. Once you've got one long section of dough with filling, while forming a circle, twist and connect the ends together.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes at 375*.
  6. Allow to cool while making your icing.
Icing
  1. Beat ingredients together until desired consistency achieved.
  2. Apply icing to cake and sprinkle sprinkles on top.
  3. (If you're lazy like me, just use sugar and some food coloring to make your own sprinkles)

What a gift motherhood is. Sanctifying, challengin What a gift motherhood is. Sanctifying, challenging, and a gift.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world tells us that we’ve lost ourselves, we’re oppressed messes, and that we must rely on coffee in the morning and alcohol in the evenings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No wonder people want the “freedom” to have abortions. The world has made motherhood seem worse than prison.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that’s not what God has said of mothers. And what God says overrides what the world says.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mama, you don’t need coffee, alcohol, mascara, and anything else provided by the world. You only need what God can supply and that is honestly more than enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May I never look at these kiddos as anything less than gifts. Little boys, one day men, to borrow from the Creator Himself and steward until He calls them back. May they be part of sanctifying me to be more like Christ until He calls me home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grateful. For every second. Even when I want to scream and rip my hair out. May my flesh die over and over as I love them more than myself, as I serve them humbly, all as I glorify God.
“Dear women of God, You are capable of reading, “Dear women of God,
You are capable of reading, learning, and comprehending the full scope of the Bible. Why? Because the Holy Spirit gives knowledge and understanding. It’s not our job to know everything, God doesn’t give us that burden. God is the only one who is omniscient. What a gift that He would gift us knowledge to know more about him. 
Your bible study doesn’t need to just be about women, topical, nor identity. You should enjoy learning about the full story from Genesis to Revelation and how Christ is in it all. The bible isn’t a book for you to learn about yourself. It’s a book of redemption and how God saves the world. It’s a book to learn about God. You cannot learn who you are until you learn whose you are. He is the only One that can define you. Because He’s the one who created you.”

Full post on blog. Link in bio. 

Don’t waver on truth to be popular. Stand firm no matter what God allows your way.
Don’t bend to culture and fame. Stand firm on the truths that God has put forth.

You can’t stand on the truths without knowing them. So study them well. Love them. Live them. Share them.

“God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.” - Elisabeth Elliot
Last week I had the opportunity to sit among women Last week I had the opportunity to sit among women who said they want to learn more about God and His word.
Because I volunteered to lead a study and because I never want to go light in leading a provided study, here I sit.

Seven reference books stacked on the floor, a few lectures listened to, and now I get to write a list of questions. I’m good at asking questions that stretch the mind. I do it all day to myself.

So for lunch, I grabbed a BLT from my fav spot and worshiped. Because other than wife, mom, and homemaker....this is the coolest thing God’s ever had me do. And because it’s the coolest, I refuse to do it mediocre.

Theology matters - because God matters.
For our good & His glory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For our good & His glory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s hard to say that what the world deems as bad, God can say it’s good.
I say this from the stance that I think loss is bad. Grief is hard. Miscarriage shouldn’t be good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is a hard day. Not a bad day. Hard because it’s the due date of the child we lost. Five years of empty should-be-birthdays.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of sitting in the what-ifs, I’ll bask in His glory. Maybe this can help me understand a fraction of God’s grief over the cross. I can’t fathom that at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My hope isn’t in this world, nor answering why, nor is my hope in the children that I have.
My hope is in an eternity with God. Where I’ll one day meet my child and spend an eternity of days with them at the feet of Jesus. Because of God’s mercies, I can say that hope in an eternity like that beats out all the what-ifs and should-bes here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My children are His first. Each day with them is merely an extension of His grace and we live at the mercy and pleasure of a mighty God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do I want to say that my loss and grief is good? No I don’t want to but I trust God that it is. It’s good that because of trials, I’ve been sanctified more. It’s good that because of grief I’ve had to learn to depend more on Him than myself or my husband. It’s good because when I surrender and believe that it’s all His, I’m obedient and He gets the glory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s good.....because God said so.
It’s good.....because He is sovereign. 
It’s good.....because God is good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is good. It is good. It is good.
