Chronic illness and pain survivor – one day at a time. I just love
I cannot wait to bake with you! I look forward to your words, I too am flawed and deal with my own issues. I have always been a believer, but I now seek God’s guidance and am trying to let go to his will (those who know me know I tend to be a control freak)…and my grammar vice is using parentheses!

I am so happy to find your blog! If the posts which follow are as witty, sensitive, transparent and with the depth of the first one, then we are definitely all in for many future treats. Love the title and the truth behind it. I look forward to feasting at your blog/bakery frequently, because I too continue to carry all the trappings and the identifying marks of a beggar calling out to my fellows. Much love Jana, and may your sails be filled with fair writing winds.

You have a gift to which you will reply that I do, too, but I don’t have the same gift you do. I sincerely believe we both are blessed and called to use words for His glory–mine are meant to be spoken and yours have to be written. God fills us, blesses us, uses us in different ways to spread his message of healing, redemption, hope, and love–and I am proud to walk or run along side of you (not that you are actually running anywhere at this moment in time), my brilliant writer friend, straight to God!

Ahhh, yes. You are so gifted, my Melissa. We are on parallel journeys, you and I. Thank you for your support – which you have always been so generous with. Onward and upward for that one true goal, so much infinitely bigger than ourselves. Love you so.
