I Want to Live Like That

Monday, October 8, 2012

                                   This weekend I attended a wonderful Women's Retreat
through my church
Emmaus Retreat
I can't say enough good about it
Even the food was good and I have to admit here,
I cheated, just a little
I didn't gain any weight but I didn't lose any on my weigh in this morning
still down 11 pounds
back on  #operationszipthosepants today
The weekend was amazing but I'm not sure
that I can even put into words
yet
So, I will just share this song with you
that's in my heart and head all.day.long.
Live Like That

Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of those
Was my worship more than just a song

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Death by Chocolate

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

Today was a sweet friend's 21st birthday
I love this girl like she's my own.

I baked her a cake to celebrate and it was a hit
I totally made it up and several people
 asked me for the recipe
so I thought maybe my blog friends would want it too

1 package of ready to bake chocolate chip
cookies (dairy section)
1 package of brownie mix (mixed just like the box calls for)
chocolate chips
chocolate syrup
chocolate frosting

I placed the cookies on the bottom of the baking dish
next sprinkled about a half of bag of chocolate chips
squirted chocolate syrup
next I mixed up the box brownie mix and poured on top

when it came out of the oven I frosted with a can of chocolate frosting and let it melt

serve warm with vanilla ice cream - soooo yummy.

NOTE:  I had one small bite because
I'm still in the middle of

Skinny Stuffed Pumpkin French Toast 


This was truly yummy!

2 slices of Pumpkin Spice Pepperidge Farm Bread
1 Egg white
1 tsp. fat free cream cheese
1 tsp. pumpkin (I used can pumpkin)
sprinkle of cinnamon sugar
splash of fat free milk

I mixed the cream cheese and pumpkin together
put it between the two slices of bread
whisked the egg white, milk and cinnamon sugar
soaked the bread with the cream cheese mixture in it -
  in the egg white
cooked in a frying pan until both sides were toasty

180 calories per serving and it is very filling.

hope you like it - Happy "Skinny" Fall Yall
