There are times when Plan B is really Plan A. It's just that my Plan A is not always God's. Take this weekend for example. I was supposed to do a craft show. Things happened, and we decided I shouldn't do it. We have a family friend spending the night. Her little brother was just diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I signed up to do a marathon for Team in Training on Monday, he got the diagnosis on Tuesday and started Chemo on Wednesday.
Now, she is spending the night with us, relaxing and de-stressing. The show I was supposed to be in? Well, it poured all day today. It would have been canceled due to rain anyway, and I would have lost inventory, time and sales. I've been able to test a few new recipes, which I will post on my other blog. More than that, we were able to minister to a teenager dealing with a serious illness in the family. See, my plan A wasn't the important one. God's plan A was so much better.
I'm heading to bed soon. I want to get up and make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow for John and the girls. Maybe I'll get pictures of those BEFORE they eat them all. lol
My place to share life - my life for Christ, as a wife and mother, living with food allergies, as a business woman, and just plain rambling on and on and on.

- I am first and foremost a born again Christian. I am not "PC" by any definition of the word. I tend to say exactly what I mean. I am wife to John - the best hubby in the world! I have two incredible children - Katelyn (15) and Michael (10, and quick to point out this now makes him a tween). They go to a Christian school, and I like volunteering there. We live on 3 acres of land. We are planning on growing most of our own food this year. I have multiple food allergies which make eating ...um... interesting. I follow the Total Health Makeover style of eating. You can get more information at www.marilu.com. Since one of my allergies is food preservatives, we eat almost no convenience foods. I make just about everything from scratch. The more control I have over my food the better. Passing out, rashes and cysts, extreme stomach issues, and pain are just no fun. I am currently working on becoming more organized without going over into OCD. I also have a growing home business. All in all, I stay busy. Praise God for all the blessings He has given us. I can't wait to share His works in our lives.
