{Friday Favorites} - April 26

1//Date Day: These are my favorite, and we hadn't had one for a while. We went to the grocery store and then to Dominoes. :)

2//There have been 7 puppies wandering around our neighborhood. Claudy wants one. He tried to claim this one... they are still little to be away from mom...but he think he is going to keep it. The name he picked "Black and White" I think it needs a new name!

3//Claudy picked me a flower and took me on a walk! Great afternoon.

4// This week we have a team of teachers from Hershey visiting...looking to partner long term! Yesterday they visited New Horizons.

5//I like to cook and don't typically like to bake, but my husband likes some treats :)

This is BANANA POKE CAKE
* White Cake Mix
* 2 Pkgs, Instant Banana Pudding
* Whipped Topping

Prepare the cake mix as directed. Let cake cool for about 15 minutes. Then poke holes in the cake using the end of a wooden spoon. While cake is cooling, prepare pudding...let sit for about 5 minutes (but don't let it get stiff, it needs to be a little creamer to go through the holes in the cake). Pour pudding over cake and spread evening. Then top with whipped topping!

6//Baby Jeff - Seriously...could he get any cuter?? Please pray for Pastor (Jeff's dad) he fell from a tree a couple of weeks ago and still isn't recovered!

7// Grilled Flat Bread Pizza

* Use Wraps or desired crust of your choice
- Put Olive Oil on Both sides of Wrap. Put on Grill, after the first side is to the Crispness that you desire, flip the crust and add toppings.
* Top with Tomatoes (used a can of rotel)
* Add cheese and fresh Basil

Super good and so quick!


I hope you have a great weekend!!

Day 2–{25 Days of Christmas}–With Friday Favorites

                     
Today our group, a group of pastors/teachers who came to do a leadership seminar, built a bathroom facility for Maxo’s Community School. The students and teachers are beyond thrilled to have this facility as they had to walk down the mountain to go to the bathroom. Now they can go right by their classrooms and the teachers won’t have to worry about the students getting “lost” during class. HAHA I guess some things are the same, students trying to find a way to get out of class longer. Thank you for those who gave toward the project and helped build.

FRIDAY FAVORITES

1. Decorating the Christmas Tree: Last week I went home to surprise my family for thanksgiving. It was wonderful to surprise them. Also had a wonderful time decorating the tree, one of my favorite things to do.





2. Apple Crisp and Coffee: My mom made me my favorite desert while I was home…It was such a blessing. I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to enjoy all of the things I love about FALL in the North.







3. Wedding Tux: One thing I love about my family is we have a great time together. This thanksgiving was no different. We were talking about mom and dad’s wedding and we were talking about my dad’s suit. Well,… he still had it, so we made him go and put it on. I’m not sure he could breather, and he must have grown…but it all mad us a laugh a lot. I can’t believe my mom let him wear a baby blue checkered suit!!! HAHA!!!

It’s all about the cross.

4. It’s All About the Cross…One of my favorite songs this season, is from Go Fish, love how it helps us point to the real reason for the season..Our need for Jesus to be born, to live a blameless/holy life, and die on the cross for our redemption from our sin!! What a great reason for the season…





Have a great Friday!!

The School is Up!!

It all started, because my friend was bothered by the injustice, but the things not right in this world. He believes that all children deserve to be educated and to hear the gospel!

 

Because of this dream, these children who would never be able to afford the average $200 a year school tuition, and most cannot afford the $25 they are asking, will have the opportunity to go to school this year. 

It building started with a wall....

 

Then the walls went up....

 

They finished the Trusses 

And then the tin went on....

 

It's not very big...but it will change lives...Thank you for all who help contribute, build and pray!! Please continue to pray for the children that will attend school, that they and their families will be impacted!

 PS this is one of the schools I will be doing teacher training with, as well as adult education and English classes.
