Missions conference was great! Our church hosted a total of 6 families, 5 of whom are missionaries outside the continental United States. We had an entire week's worth of testimonies and preaching about spreading the gospel of Christ to those who would otherwise not receive it, and then a HUGE spread of food in potluck fashion on Saturday night. This cake was one of my contributions, as we were supposed to bring food from our home states/regions. Gotta say, after that cake decorating class I just took, I am so much more comfortable decorating cakes on my own. Plus, now I'm creating freehand succulent plants. What more could a girl ask for??
We left there so stuffed, I wondered if we were all bordering on gluttony! :) Hubby took some great pictures, and we are blessed to be able to provide those to the visiting families as momentos of their visit with us. I've been so surprised already at the willingness of my heart to "let go and let God", to put it simply. I know that our Faith Promise Missions pledge will be even more money every week, besides tithing, that we'll be giving to the Lord. But I have a peace in my heart that God will use this opportunity to prove His faithfulness to our family, and I'm not worried about where the money will come from for us to survive. The Lord works in mysterious ways, sometimes, and I am always amazed to see His hand in my life. Now if I could just remember to keep my eyes fixed on Him, instead of this screwy, mixed up world....

Not only was that cake as delicious as the others you've made, it was wonderful to be able to share the last three days of the Missions Conference with you too.
Our Lord Jesus Christ blessed my life with you. No man could ask God for more than He has given me already.
