sur la table

another favorite: sur la table.

i wish this store is closer to where i live.

they offer special demos for free which sound really interesting. they offer cooking classes and even have a kids' cooking camp! i think i want to host a party here.

recipe for happy

in order to see me happy, i gotta have at least one of three things, if not a combination of two, or all:

1. sunshine (preferably w/ warm temp)

2. no mess in the house

3. health

if i don't have at least one of these, i tend to be cranky. but all these combined puts me in a perky mood, or at least allows me to be positive and kind to other people around me.

just a little side note: the claim above is voided if i see a bug. my husband tells me to just ignore it (the bug). but i can't ignore it on command. i just can't relax. all my senses are focused on that one bug and i cannot even concentrate on doing anything until it is terminated. we cannot coexist. i cannot be happy.

v-day presents

got these things for v-day along w/ a bouquet of hot pink roses.

(fyi, the choco pearls are from my darling daughter robyn.)

Word of God Speak

i heard the song Word of God Speak by Mercy Me at the bible study today.

i heard it for the first time, really listening to the words in silence, rather than as the radio background music. wow, it was so powerful! it may possibly become my new favorite song for a while.

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
