WOW, another good devotion!!! This time it's like they are working hand in hand.
This is a devotion about patience. I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did.


Prime Time With God

Today's Prayer
Dear God, You know how eager I am to jump in and take matters into my own hands. Sometimes, I don't take time to think and talk with you about a situation first. I know I should take matters to You; I should slow down a little to think and pray. Help me to not be so hard-headed all the time, but to slow down and wait on Your guidance...even Your intervention. Please give me wisdom, so that maybe I won't have to spend so much time wandering in the wilderness because of my ignorance. Thank you. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Joyce Meyer Daily Devotion

Wait for the Wisdom of God

People often ask me, "How can I know for sure whether I'm walking in the truth or walking according to my feelings and emotions?" I believe the answer is found in patience.

Emotions urge us to hurry, telling us that we must do something and do it right now! But godly wisdom tells us to wait until we have a clear picture of what it is we are to do and when we are to do it. Godly wisdom tells us to seek wise guidance and counsel before we rush into decisions.

We need to be able to back off and view our situation from God's perspective. We need to make decisions based on what we know rather than what we feel. We need to receive His wisdom and the wisdom of the trusted people He's placed in our lives.

When faced with any difficult decision, wait until you have a clear answer before taking a step that you may regret. Emotions are wonderful, but they must not be allowed to take precedence over wisdom and knowledge. Seek God's guidance and let Him show you what to do.

Prayer Starter: God, I won't rush into decisions and be led by my emotions. I commit to seeking Your wise guidance for the choices I make.

For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers. (Proverbs 11:14 NIV)

Naturally Yours...

Going natural was not an easy decision at the beginning because I was so concerned about society's opinions of what African American hair should look like.  When I was introduced to natural hair as an adult, I thought it was beautiful on "those" women but definitely not me.  I don't have so called "good hair."  I began my transitioning phase in 2008 that was going great because I had discovered a wonderful product called DivaSmooth.  This product allowed me to transition with keeping the integrity of beautiful hair (LOL).  During this transitional phase, the season was changing from cold to hot; therefore my mind was changing along with it.  So I gave in and put a relaxer on my hair.  After about a year in half later, I decided to go through with.  My mind was finally made up.  I decided to get braids as my transitional phase but of course getting braids on a regular basis was to time consuming for me.  I decided to do my "BIG CHOP" in 2011.

Going natural was the best thing for me and my hair.  Of course, it was a BIG adjustment because trying to look at myself with a "boy cut" was very different coming from having long locks of hair.  Some of my loved ones loved it and others had to adjust but I wasn't turning back.  I was going to post some pictures of my "boy cut" but realize, OOPPSS!, I don't have any because I was still adjusting.  Yes, I was still feeling a bit pressed by society.  So taking pictures was just not what I wanted to do.  I was just ready for it to grow to a length I liked. 

I have allowed my hair do what its expected to do, GROW.  I have now been natural for two years and growing.  Now I have cut my hair several times because as we all know hair has to be maintained with delicate care.  So my hair hasn't made it down my back as of yet but it is growing.  I have now definitely embraced my hair and all its trials.  I have been able to look at several videos but what I have learned is everyone's hair is very different; meaning what works for me may not work for you.  So learn your hair and be patient.  It was the BEST transition for me.  So I'm leaving you all with "Just A Thought", love your hair in its natural form because it will love you back.

Cakelicious Cake Ideas!!!

Hello Blogging Family...

Welcome to my blog.  As you can see my blog will be about CAKES!!!

Not just any cake but those delicious, custom cakes baked and designed with love by no other than the infamous Ms. Alice and Cake Daddy. 

This blog will be filled will wonderful pictures of our cakes but first let me share the story from Cake Daddy, my wonderful husband and Ms. Alice, my beautiful, virtuous and inspiring mother-in-love (mother-in-law)...  But first lets look at our story as told by my husband...

2013 was NOTHING short of God showing Himself STRONG in my wife and I's life! On my 8 year anniversary date on March the 8th earlier this year I was told my services were no longer needed after giving nothing but hard work and loyalty to the company I truly had planned on retiring from. BUT GOD said different! I left that day NOT with my head hanging down nor was I a disgruntled employee. In fact to his surprise I actually hugged my boss and told him I loved him and thank you! You say how could I do that after being done wrong? It's the GOD in me! I called my wife on the way home and told her the news and we both agreed to give it two weeks to see where God was going to lead me. I then called my mom (Ms. Alice) and said I believe we may be about to go full time in the cake and catering business. She said LEGGO!!! Lol! We have been doing cakes on a small level since 1992 when she made me attend a cake decorating class at J C Penny which I did NOT want to do but I'm glad I did! Now get ready to shout because I'm hear to tell you that we have NOT missed one mortgage payment, car note or bill being paid since my being let go!!!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!! We haven't slowed down since we made the decision to go full time!!! 

Now enjoy the ride of the wonderful world of the cakecoaster...
