Hey guys! How are you this Sunday?? I hope that you have had a great weekend! So, it’s my birthday and I have fallen ill. I have been fighting this stupid cold since last weekend and this past Friday it took a turn. I feel like my head is stuck in this barrel and I have cotton stuck in my ears. Sore throat. Headache. Zero appetite.
Sickness is the worst.
Doctor on Monday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! TO MEEEEE!!
This week I really wanted to just celebrate being alive and doing simple things… I think that I have done that with the exception of staying in bed today that is. I did manage a new recipe yesterday…..if you have been following me for a while now, you know that I love to bake.
Peanut Butter/Banana/Chocolate chip bread. Recipe can be found here. The only thing that I changed was this: I used 1 cup of white and 1 cup of whole wheat, regular milk instead of butter milk (I didn’t have any of the latter), and I only used two bananas instead of three.
It really bakes up big! And even with the changes, turned out pretty good.
Yesterday we had pictures at my church and I was able to see this beautiful little girl…
I love my niece and nephew so very much!
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me I my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me O God!
I find so much comfort in this passage from Psalm 139:13-17. Even before the earth was a thought in God’s head, He was thinking of me. What I would be like, my heart, my passions, everything. He even knew what I would struggle with and I know He has compassion toward me.
I hope you guys have a great rest of the day….

I am too….now I have to fight others for the Doctor tomorrow.
Happy birthday love! I’m so sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling well, but I’m glad that you are taking care of yourself properly and going to the doctor! Fingers crossed that you feel better asap! And thank you for sharing that recipe because I bought bananas at the store yesterday expressly for the purpose of making banana bread and now you have given me the perfect way to do so
Thank you so much Caitlin! I hope you make that recipe! It was SO good!
Happy birthday! Hope that you get to feeling better soon. Poor thing!
Oh, I am so sorry you are sick! What awful timing! I think you should get another birthday week when you’re feeling better, to make up for it
That bread looks gorgeous too – yum.
Ahhh so sad you got sick for your birthday! Hope it was great nonetheless! Love the picture with the niece!
aw so sorry you got sick! what a great picture though (and i really enjoyed that psalm!).. i’m pretty sure you’ve already been nominated for a liebster award… but i still put you on my list this morning as *honorary* bc your blog is one of my faves!
