I'm daring to dream

Cake baked by me


Philippians 3: 13 NIV
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,”

My daughter has been reminding me for some time to plan ahead. Looking towards something I want to attain and work on my plan. Last night I decided that it was time that I expand my cake business. I started classes teaching ladies how to decorate cakes but I believe I should fervently work on my mentoring.

My dream is to teach people the basic’s of cake baking and decorating and then teaching them the finer art of cake decorating. I have worked out a plan and I realize it is going to cost some money but if you truly want to the knowledge I’m sure you will invest in your future.

I also feel with my mentoring I am adding to our community and this is a good thing, people can start up their own little cake businesses and take it from there. I know woman love to bake and the prettier the cake the popular the baker.

I have decided not only to talk about my business but I want to promote it. I enjoy baking and I feel sure the classes will be of great interest to other cake fans.

Prayer

Abba Father, Lord You, have given me this dream and today I want to bring my plan before You. I want to start classes. Please give me the necessary wisdom and insight and understanding. I want to grow my cake business and I believe that this is attainable. Lord, today I dedicate my ideas into Your hands and I want to pray to ask You to please help me. I need Your help today and going forward. Lord please may I ask You to confirm my thoughts and plans in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
