Introduction...


Grace and Chocolate

 

Ok, so I’ve been thinking of starting a blog for some time, mostly waiting on divine, brilliant inspiration…LOL. Anyway, here goes. I am a wife, a mom, a cook, a friend, a daughter, an animal lover, an avid reader, a conservative and most importantly, a Christian. It’s all about Jesus, people. So from time to time I may have some things to say, about God, politics, food, family, books, etc. Maybe someone will be interested, maybe not, but here goes…

I’m calling this thing Grace and Chocolate because they are two things that every woman needs, at least several times a day. Do I hear an amen?

 If you know me, you know I love to cook. Watching someone enjoy something I have made with care and love gives me deep satisfaction. I’ll be sharing recipes quite often, I’m sure. Right now I’m completely obsessed with The Pioneer Woman. I want her life and her basset hounds! Here’s the link to her blog –


 

The most important thing to know about me is that I love Jesus Christ, who died for me, a sinner of the worst kind. A couple of years ago I said a simple prayer, asking for a closer relationship with God and received an immediate answer and so the journey began. At least three things I know for sure – God is good ALL THE TIME, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Light, and we must love one another as he has loved us. Easier said than done, obviously, since we are all flawed but all things are possible for God! I believe this with all of my being. That being said, I would like to recommend the book that started me on this path, this closer walk…”Sometimes He Whispers, Sometimes He Roars: Learning to Hear the Voice of God” by my sweet friend Marilynn Chadwick. Here’s the link to her website -


It’s awesome – revolutionized my prayer life. I highly recommend it! In these difficult times faith is so important. It’s the only thing we can really count on in this crazy world!
