We totally nailed this gingerbread house tutorial at our middle school Christmas party tonight. Scroll right to see the template we used from @tikkido . The gingerbread was soooo yummy and sturdy. Granted this was a timed race to see how much candy could be supported by the structure, and they held up valiantly until the last few seconds. Thanks for the great recipe. #nailedit #christmasparty #gingerbreadhouse #toomuchcandy #sugarrush

This is my new routine: breakfast and writing at Tim Hortons at 5am. I put in my earbuds, play worship music, and write with no interruptions! It is possible to find solitude as a homeschool mom, but you have to look for it a like harder. ⠀

Have a great day! ⠀

Remember Dory in Finding Nemo? "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming."⠀
⠀
I feel like we could borrow this motto and turn it into: "Just keep praying. Just keep praying. Just keep praying."⠀
⠀
Doesn't it seem like the answer to so many of the challenges we face?⠀
⠀
I'm currently meeting with a small group to discuss Francis Chan's Letters to the Church. The book features a series of essays (or letters) imploring us—as the Church—to do better. The study guide features a lot of self-examination, prompting us to ask ourselves where we, as individuals, are going wrong (or not). I'm pretty good at this, 🤨. I can think of lots of examples where I've done the very things that Chan says are hurting the Church. ⠀
⠀
But one of my dear friends in the group, whenever I describe one of these situations, shows me how I can turn it around through prayer. It might seem trite to answer every problem with the same solution, but in this case, it just might work. ⠀
⠀
If you're looking for some more ways to boost your prayer life, check out my latest post, Unceasing Prayer: 5 Practical Steps. https://mycuprunsover.ca/unceasing-prayer-five-practical-steps/ (link also in bio). ⠀
