New Recipe.....

This past week I printed off a recipe from Taste of Homes called, "Vegetable Beef Bow Tie The Skillet.". It looked easy and so I gave it a try. It was a huge hit with my husband and so it is now going into our favorites recipe book.

Now like most recipes I didn't follow it exactly because I didn't have all the items. I used ground turkey instead of hamburger. I also used my canned tomatoes that have peppers in them and added broccoli instead of zucchini. This is a great one pot Hamburger Helper kind of recipe. At the end I used some corn starch to thicken up the sauce a bit.

Happy Resurrection

The love of God at Easter
is there for all to see-
He died for us and rose again
and won the victory!

God bless you with His peace & joy at Easter

From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another. John 1:16

His Name is Jesus

HIS BIRTH
Jesus...
He could hold the universe in His palm
but gave it up to float
in the womb of a maiden.
Christ became one of us.
and He did so to redeem all of us.

HIS MISSION
Jesus...
The man...
who spoke with such thunderous authority
and loved with such childlike humility.
The life of Jesus Christ
is a message of hope,
a message of mercy,
a message of life in a dark world.

HIS DEATH
Jesus...
The palm that held the universe
took the nail of a soldier.
On the eve of the cross,
Jesus made His decision.
He would rather
go to hell for you
than go to heaven without you.

HIS RESURRECTION
Jesus...
the moment He removed the stone,
He removed all reason for doubt.
Christ's resurrection
is an exploding flare
announcing to all sincere seekers
that it is safe to believe.

-Max Lucado

We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. I John 2:1

Happy Birthday Mom.....
My moms birthday was this past week, so the kids and I made her a cake. I think it turned out lovely and it tasted even more lovely. I just love to make homemade butter cream frosting.

Teeth Gone....
One day Anna told me that she had a couple of loose teeth. It only took a couple of weeks, from the time she told me, for them both to come out. I have to say I was really surprised how quickly it happened. It's a good thing, since we could see the two new teeth coming in already.

Also wanted to let those who may not know yet that Brandon did not get either of the jobs that he interviewed for. He will be continuing to look and apply for nursing jobs.

Job Interviews......

Brandon had two interview this past Monday. The first interview was for a nursing job in Sioux Falls, SD. It was a phone interview and Brandon found out the positions hours were working two days during the day shift and two days working the night shift. We will have to wait to see if we hear back from them, but Brandon already knows he would have to say no.

The second interview was for a nursing job in Madison. He feels the interview went very well and has a good chance at the job. This facility is actually hiring 4 people to start in the beginning of May and 4 more people to start at the beginning of June. They are actually looking to hire people who are brand new nurses. This is encouraging and now we just have to wait and hope to hear back some good news. It may take till the end of next week to find out.

We would appreciate your prays!
