When you have old bananas-make banana bread



So, today in South Africa is Women's Day. It's to commemorate the some 20,000 women who stood up against apartheid in 1956. There were lots of gatherings of women today at state buildings and such, but this woman, she slept til 10am. Oh, I woke up several times and kept rolling over to go back to sleep. Most days, school days, we are up at 5:30 and out the door at 6:30am...did you catch that...AM. And my people, we don't do mornings very well. No one really speaks unless it's in grunts or nods. 

So today, we had about 5-6 old bananas and Grace and I decided we would make banana almond bread. My husband loves any fruit bread with nuts in it. So we did the womanly thing and baked. I know, I know, Matthew and many many can cook and bake, but today we, the women of the house, baked. We used our tried and true Betty Crocker cookbook from like 1950. In any move, it will be in my suitcase. It has served us well. 

Lately, life seems to be serving me old bananas, and I am trying to make banana bread. I am depending on the Lord more and more in these days, just like I depend on Betty Crocker to help me with the recipe. The Lord has opened up one door with a blogging group called Daughters of the Deep. It is going to launch in October, but we are already writing. I wrote my first one this week. It is to encourage and inspire women into a deeper walk with Christ. And in writing, it's doing that for me also. There will be more details as launch date approaches. Humbled to be chosen and humbled as I study and write about what God lays on my heart.

SAHM....again

Well, this is my first at home again in 4.5 years. And well, "at home" is a kinda misnomer in my book. I am still taking the kids to school and back so it's 45 minutes each way. So, yep, 3 hours in the car a day. Doesn't leave much time for things in between, but I am learning to set up schedules and such. Each day so far has been very different, which I like. Please do continue to pray for all of us as we go through this transition. I found a verse from my quiet time yesterday that basically said without the strain comes no growth. So the Lord allows strain in our lives so that we will grow. Grow more in Him, grow more dependent on Him.  I have already had a few new opportunities that I'll share in the coming days. Just weeding through the ones that are "liz wanted" and "God sent".
