Blog Update - Better With Style + Food

As 2012 quickly approaches, it's so easy to forget the beginning of 2011. Seems like the years go by faster and faster, and soon we will face the beginning of a new year again. Along with the new year, I've decided to make a few new beginnings of my own. As my followers (few but faithful) have probably noticed by now, I've started to combine my food blog with my fashion/craft blog. These two elements are very important to me in my life and I feel that I should share them with you all in once place. So, please bear with me as I work to create a new look for this blog and soon a new and interesting name and URL. Stay tuned, great things to come!

On a different note, I must say that there have been some life changing events taking place in my life in just the past month that have made me refocus on what is really important to me in the life that God has given me here on earth. Being a Christian, I must say that knowing God's will for your life can be one of the most challenging concepts to understand and trust. There is a phrase that says 'If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.' I've felt like God has probably had a few good laughs at me this year from a few of my over zealous and not so humble blueprints for life. Even still, I've learned to be patient. I'm still learning to trust Him even when He puts me in situations that make absolutely no sense to me. So I ponder on the scriptures that say: for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways (Isa 55:8) For I know the plans I have for you, to give you an expected end (Jer 29:11). How great is our God?! So I'll continue to trust and praise Him even when life seems to be as clear as mud. For I know that He will give me the desires of my heart, and even my hearts desires. What are your hearts desires for 2012?
