Giddy Up And Go Or Get Left Behind
Ever been on a trail ride and it seems you got the slowest horse of the bunch?
Sometimes our life and our dreams can feel the very same way! So what do you do when your feeling like your falling farther and farther behind? You give yourself a little kick and and little spurring, just like you would do with that slow horse!
How do you kick it up and spur yourself a little and get to moving forward?
- Have you written your vision down to inspire you and daily remind you? “And then GOD answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time.” Habakkuk 2:2-3 MSG
- Get in the Word and fill yourself up! “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”Joshua 1:8 NLT
- Fellowship with others with like mindedness that will support your dreams and inspire you in God. Then you can do the same. “And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”Hebrews 10:25 NLT
- Find an avenue to be mentored and inspired and mentor and inspire others. I follow people like Carol Hogner, Sandy Krakowski and Deborah Kessel, Elizabeth Inman and many more who believe and dream and live it! “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, Hebrews 10:24 NIV
- Don’t look back and run your race full speed ahead! “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”1 Corinthians 9:24-27 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, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”Philippians 3:13-14 NIV
Now this speed is what I’m talking about right here!!!
Blessings,

Holiday Recipe~Lu’s Candy Bark
YAY we have a Featured #HolidayDessert #Recipe today…Candy Bark by Hannah Hogner AKA Lu
You will need: Candy canes (flavor of your choosing – I like the plain peppermint canes) 8 oz Almond Bark mix 8 oz semi sweet chocolate chips Holiday sprinkles Rolling Pin Parchment paper
Unwrap the candy canes and place a few in a zippered bag. For the amount of bark that we made, we used three candy canes.
The next step is really fun for kids. Have them smash the bark into small pieces using a rolling pin. When smashing the candy canes, be sure to leave some large chunks as well as smaller pieces.
Place a piece of parchment paper onto a cookie sheet. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and pour into the parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Spread the chocolate in an even layer. It will not cover the entire pan. You just want to create a square or rectangle of chocolate.
Next, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Pour it on top of the semi sweet chocolate. Spread it over the chocolate layer evenly until the chocolate layer is covered. Now it’s time to sprinkle the candy cane pieces on the bark. The kids had lots of fun with this step. We also added some festive holiday sprinkles to the bark. Press the candy cane pieces and sprinkles into the bark a bit so they will not fall out when it hardens. Then put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator so that the bark could harden. This took about an hour to completely harden. Once it hardens, you can remove it from the parchment paper and break it into chunks.

Holiday Recipe~Mary Connealy’s Cinnamon Rolls
WATCH FOR A GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY IN THIS BLOG!!!
I just recently was introduced to Mary Connealy’s writings and I just finished one of her amazing Novellas. I saw her post yesterday about this yummy recipe and asked if I could feature her recipe today. She said of course, so here we go!

Cinnamon Rolls
24 Rhodes (Hy-Vee) frozen dinner rolls
½ cup sugar with ½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup nuts (I used 2 cups today)
1 3oz pkg butterscotch pudding (dry powder)
½ cup (1 stick) butter
½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
The recipe calls for greasing a 9×13 pan (I use non stick Reynolds wrap it’s easier to take out of pan). But I use a cast iron skillet. It makes a super cute way to serve the rolls. one large skillet will hold about a dozen rolls so you’ll need to or cut the recipe in half (that’s what I do, we don’t need 24 rolls!)
Sprinkle sugar mixture over the top, then the nuts followed by the pudding. Melt the butter and brown sugar in a small pan. Pour this mixture over the top of the pan. Make a tent with aluminum foil and leave overnight. Remove tent, bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Turn out and serve. (I use the tenting foil as a base to turn the rolls out onto.
