When life turns upside down for me I have been blessed with so many people who love and support me, truly gifts from God. I recently had a pretty major change in focus as far as my volunteer commitments go, and throughout this process dealt with some not so happy things. A dear friend who at the time was a Deacon, helped me to process things, and told me that old phrase about how when one door closes..... maybe another opens, yada, yada, yada.
I was thinking whatever.... but funny how life hands you things.... the Food Network called me a couple days later and invited me to possibly be a part of a Food Network Challenge on National TV, it might not work out with timing and my workload, etc. but seriously to even be considered with the best of the best in the country, pretty much rocks. Also that week I recieved a mailing from our adoption agency, Holt intl. which is based in Eugene, OR. I have wanted so much to get more involved with the agency or with something with international adoption, and the mailing was about looking for help for their first ever event in WI. When one door closes.... God works in his own plan, we just have to trust in it.
The weekend of May 31, June 1st as i was walking 40 miles for the Avon Breast Cancer walk in Chicago, my dear friend, Deacon Dan Schuster, who has been a rockstar in my life, by the grace of God became Fr. Dan Schuster. Here is the cake I made to celebrate this joyous event!
And another cake from that weekend that I particularly loved...
GO GOD!
