Words of encouragement

I am a big planner and I am very organized in what I do. I have come to realize that I can't plan my life out that's Gods job. I have always thought I knew what I wanted in life but God knew what I needed in my life to become the person I have always wanted to be. We may all feel like we have made choices that haven't been the best but it's okay. God can use all your life experiences, mistakes and bad choices to take you places you have never dreamed of being, if you just have faith. I am my strongest when I trust God and let Him take care of the things I can't. Take heart and know that everything works out in Gods perfect timing. Each day is a gift and all we have to do is unwrap it, enjoy it, and share it with joy!

Words of encouragement

Joel Osteen Ministries
If you will be faithful where you are and honor God with your life, you won't have to go after blessings. They will come after you.

Oatmeal Pumpkin Bars

:: Cooking Spray
:: 2 cups old-fashioned oats
:: 1 ¼ cups All Purpose flour
:: ½ cup sugar
:: ½ teaspoon cinnamon
:: ¼ teaspoon salt

:: ¼ teaspoon baking powder

:: 1 cup cold, unsalted butter cut into half inch cubes
:: 2 cups pumpkin puree
:: 2 eggs

:: 1 tsp. vanilla
:: ¾ cup brown sugar
:: ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8X8 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Cut in the butter to the dry mixture until it resembles a course meal. Do not over mix, but leave some of the butter in chunks.

Pour half the dry mixture into the baking pan and bake for about 15 minutes until slightly browned.

In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, egg, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Mix thoroughly. Pour wet mixture onto partially baked crust, and sprinkle with remaining oat mixture. Bake until the topping is slightly browned, about 25-30 minutes.

Encouragement For Your Day

Healthy living is really just developing good habits that make your mind body and soul feel good.
Some things I do to feel really good are going for a nice walk. I love dark chocolate so I try to have a piece everyday. I enjoy reading and praying it makes me feel calm and peaceful. Spending time with my family and enjoying the blessings God has given me. If you are dreaming of life you want to live don't just dream it live it. Do something today that makes you happy and something that you have been putting off that you have wanted to do. Life is short and if we don't enjoy life it will just fly bye and we might look back and regret that we didn't even enjoy are own life because we are to busy trying to be something that we don't even have to be. Let's be the people that we want to be and not what we think have to be.
