Chocolate Cherry Kisses Cookies!

   Happy Valentine's Day! "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." - 1 Peter 4:8

   Today is a beautiful day, filled with love and kindness! One way I show my affection to others is to make them treats. Cookies, cakes, brownies, candies, even blondie bars! I love to unleash a creative beast in the kitchen! So, today I decided to make my friend a batch of cookies. What kind of cookies, you ask? Well chocolate of course! But not just chocolate, chocolate and cherries. Chocolate Cherry Kisses to be exact. Yes. Chocolate and cherries, you heard me correctly. Just look at these bad boys!

   Right off the bat, I knew these cookies were going to rock my ever-loving socks off! The aroma of chocolate cascaded from the oven. I just had to have one! In fact, that is exactly what I did. I also let my mom sneak one in, but still leaving the rest for my dear friend. Watch out these are addictive, I tell you, addictive! Oh! But wait, I almost forgot to tell you that these are 100% good for you. Good for you? How can this be? Valentine treats are rarely ever good for you, but my oh my are these your ideal indulgence. These Chocolate Cherry Kisses are vegan, whole grain, and they even contain fruits (cherries, duh!) and a veggie! Veggie?! Now don't be biased about these sweeties because they contain... PUMPKIN! That's right! Pumpkin is the secret ingredient in these cookies! I promise you cannot even taste it. All you taste is deliciousness! Let's get another look at these beauties.
   Now, who wants a cookie? I know I do! "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" enjoys the abundance of His creations through scrumptious, chocolate-y cookies! Okay, so maybe that's not how the verse goes, but it certainly implies it!

   May the Lord's peace be with you on this special Valentine's Day, and don't forget that the Lord's love is abundant. His love never fails. "Love is patient, love is kind." Here are some Valentine's Day verses for you to meditate upon:

   Happy Valentine's Day!

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant life.

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A
