On Tuesday, Aleyah turned 8. While she believes she is actually 18, her father and I have the job of guiding her back to reality. But because she is growing up, we decided to give her an iPod as her birthday gift. Thankfully we had an extra one that was no longer being used, so she opened it Tuesday morning and was super excited to see that she had this “toy”. She didn’t have much time to fiddle with it since she had to get ready for school, so when we arrived home from dismissal that afternoon, she made a bee line for her iPod. She raced upstairs, changed into workout clothes, put in her earbud (yes, singular- so she always has an ear to hear!), and began running up and down our street like she has seen her dad and mom do so many times.
When I told Scott what she had done, he told me that through his reading for his children’s ministry class this semester, he learned that research has shown that children begin to mimic their parents around age 7-8. An awesome and scary responsibility this is!
I am a daily example to my children whether my actions are positive or negative. My prayer is that my children will live for Jesus, be loving, be bold, be strong, and be a light in a dark world. Which means this:
iLead with dependence on God, so they can trust in saying, “iFollow”.

Hummus Pinwheel Cookies – A Hit at The Melb. Beach Farmer’s Market!
I made these pinwheel cookies this past weekend to give away as samples at the Melbourne Beach Farmer’s Market. I used the Spiced Fig Hummus and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Hummus to create two delicious kinds of treats! They quickly vanished off the tray 🙂
Head off to The Green Turtle or Downtown Produce to pick up some hummus in order to recreate these little treasures!
If you want to add a burst of flavor to some ordinary cookie dough, here is a great and simple way to do it: Roll out the cookie dough, spread on some Gingerbread Hummus, roll up the dough like a jelly roll or cinnamon roll log, and slice and bake! Here is the recipe:
-
Immaculate Baking Co. Organic Sugar Cookie Dough- 8 cookie dough rounds
-
2 Tablespoons of Gingerbread Hummus
Preheat oven to 350. Allow dough to sit out for about 5 minutes. Lightly flour counter and roll out dough to an approx. 8″x4″ rectangle. Spread hummus over the entire rectangle. Starting on the long side, carefully roll the dough over until into a long log-shape. Slice into 10-12 cookies and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow to cool a few minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire rack.
You can use any flavor of sweet hummus and you can double the recipe to accommodate your tastes and needs.

The Sixth Hour
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour…And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
Matthew 27:45, 50-52

A Special Easter Morning
As we wake on this Resurrection morning, our family will have an added celebration on this already special day. Our six year old daughter, Anna, made the decision a couple of weeks ago to trust and follow Jesus! She chose today, Easter Sunday, to be baptized, and at 10:30 later this morning, her Daddy will be immersing her in the baptismal waters!
Her baptism isn’t a “get me into heaven” pass. There is nothing magical about this water that pours from the city pipes to ensure her salvation. Baptism is an act of obedience to our Lord, Jesus. It is a symbol and public statement declaring that she has made Jesus Lord of her life.Paul tells us this:
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Romans 10:9-10
Today, I will celebrate the life that my family and I have in Christ because of his death and resurrection. My prayer is that you also can rejoice in knowing that you will spend eternity with Jesus. If you don’t have the assurance, seek Him. He promises to hear us when we call out to Him, and He will forgive your sins and make you as white as snow.

Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday:
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,   “Hosanna to the Son of David!”   “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”  “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Matthew 21:9
Just Days Later:
“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” Matthew 71:22-23
Being a follower of Jesus is not a “one day” event. It is not dependent on how you are feeling on a particular day , or how others are influencing you (as it were the case for the crowds on that first Palm Sunday). It is a daily commitment that requires focusing on the mission that Jesus has called us to: denying ourselves, living for Him, and making disciples of all nations so He receives the glory in everything. As we start this holy week, may we meditate on the sacrifice that both God the Father and Jesus made for us 2,000 years ago.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10
