I prayed for you.

When I was young somewhere in between a child and an adult I started praying for you.
I didn't even know your name but I prayed for you.
I prayed for you many years before we met.
I prayed that if you had a test that day it went well.
I prayed that wherever you were you had a nice day. 
I prayed that if you were an athlete you had a good competition.
I prayed that if you had a girlfriend you were learning good habits to become a wonderful husband.
I prayed that wherever you were, you were happy.
I prayed for our future relationship and marriage.
I prayed that we would never lose the spark that made us who we were as the marriages around me had.
I prayed for our future home.

 Even though I prayed for you I was confused.

 I was confused why I wasn't always having the best days.
I was confused as to why there were bullies.
I was confused why I wasn't dating.
I was confused by the fact whenever I wanted to date someone a random act would happen to prevent it.
I worried that I had already met you and I missed the signs.
I worried that I would never meet you.
I worried that a random act prevented us from being together.

 When I met you I didn't know it was you I prayed for.
When I met you I didn't know that God had answered my prayers, each and every one.
When I met you I didn't know that all of those road blocks that had prevented other lives was God's answered prayers to find you.  
When I met you I didn't know that the winding path throughout life was bringing me to the great love of my life.

 I know God answers prayers, because he gave me you.  

 Happy 10th Anniversary Tom.

Recipe Tuesday!! Puffed Apple Pancake!

Image
Good Morning everyone!  I wanted to post some of my favorite recipes on this blog, so Recipe Tuesday it is!! About a year ago I was at my Grandma's house and she was searching for a recipe.  She knew what it was supposed to be but didn't know the exact ingredients, we spent a couple hours combing through her recipes until I finally thought to google it and we came up with something very similar.  The end result was amazing, she always make food 10 times better than anyone else, but this is actually one recipe of hers that I can replicate and it comes very close.  This recipe is very easy and anyone can make it! Puffed Apple Pancake 2 Apples(I like to use Gala, because they are my favorite to eat, but Granny Smith or Golden Delicious would work very well) 4 TBSP (1/2 stick) Butter (original recipe calls for unsalted, but I wouldn't ever have that in my house, haha) 1 Cup Milk 4 Large Eggs 3 TBSP Sugar 1 TSP Vanilla Extract (I just use a lid full of it) 1...

New Years Resolution or Goal Setting?

Image
Every year I make the same resolutions; eat healthier, read my Bible daily and save more money.  Some years I have kept these going throughout the year and have done quite well but some years not so much.  This year I am not making resolutions but starting goals.  I know you may think that is the same thing but the difference is I am not going to hold myself to just this year, or if I fail in my goal I will just pick right up again and not wait until the end of a month or year.  Each day is a new day and if one day I fail, I will just pick up where I left off.   Here are some goals I am setting starting in this new year! 1) Eat/Live Healthier - This one is pretty self explanatory.  I need to stop all of my crazy eating habits.  I am not 18 and a distance runner anymore.  I cannot eat a pint of ice cream in one sitting.  (not that I have done that in many years, but you know what I mean.  I did eat 3 donuts in one sitting very recentl...

TV Shows that I don't care for, but I have tried really hard...

Image
I did a post on my favorite TV shows of all time, so now I am going to talk about TV Shows that I just don't care for, but have tried really hard to like.  These shows fall under a subcategory of "shows that people my age tend to like."  Many of the actors in these shows I like in other tv shows or movies, but I just don't like or am disappointed by these shows in particular.  Another thing to note is I have seen many episodes of each one of these shows and have given them all a fair shot.  Also, these are not in any particular order. Please don't be offended by this post as it is completely opinion based: Friends (1994-2004) - Most girls my age were and still are obsessed with this show.  I watched it in high school and college along with everyone else, but when I step back and actually think about the show, I never really liked it at all.  The characters were always making really bad decisions, acting slutty and not really caring about people around t...
