Kiersten Beatty

My husband will attest to this, I have some severe OCD and control issues as well as patience is not a virtue for me (although I would never ask God to give me patience because I’m scared of His follow through) I had burdened myself for months on end with the stress of tracking my cycle down to the hour, so much blood work to make sure my body was doing what it was supposed to be, temperature readings to watch for spikes, vitamins to prepare my body, and books and internet research, and so on and so on. So I’m constantly thanking him for my husband and my home, our dogs and our income, our cars and jobs, our families and above all else, the future, healthy, happy children He will provide when it’s time. Listening to worship music in my car daily and feeling lost if I haven’t completed my morning devotion has become a daily thing for me.

We need some Vitamin D. Nik and I got this sun lamp to help with not only our winter sadness (there are some in depth studies on it that say it tricks your brain into thinking that it is real sunshine therefore helping mood and the creation of certain hormones) but also just to help wake us up in the mornings. It’s so dark and cold outside and you are waking up from a long night’s sleep in cozy sheets, the last thing you wanna do is get out bed. He will take a warm shower in the mornings before getting dressed for the day and then right before getting out, he turns the water all the way to cold and it wakes him up. Sign up for a new activity – signing up for something new, whether it be a workout class, cooking class or even a macrame class, forces you to change up your routine by getting out of your comfort zone.

Ingredients you will need: Mix all wet and dry ingredients together (minus the blueberries). Put everything into a 9×5 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes. *Optional* 30 minutes into baking, take pan out and sprinkle sugar on top to give a crispy sweet topping.
