A couple of months later another friend asked if we could support her on a mission trip to Romania. This time we chose to bake and sale cookies and cakes. My goal was to raise $100. I probably should tell you that I had absolutely no expectations of meeting that goal; it was a crazy number that came out of my mouth without passing through my brain first...or so I thought. My unspoken, human goal was $20. After all, who in the world would want to buy my baked goods except for overly kind and generous friends? Over $150 later...yeah, God blew that whole "goal" out of the water and left me completely dumb-founded. Completely!

If God's above miracle wasn't enough, He made sure to let me know that I had only just stepped foot on this path and had much further to go. Through my obedience to bake, God literally dropped a job in my lap! I am now the coordinator and baker of our church's coffee bar! Go figure! What a blessing this job has been in so many ways already. The pictures on this post are some of the pastries I bake: biscotti, oatmeal bars, muffins, scones (not pictured), and cookies (not pictured).

I am living proof of "what I can't, God can".
