Let Me Explain

If you are reading this, I'd be willing to bet you know of my love for cupcakes and all things sweet. It of course inspired the title of my Blog, yet this will not all be about cupcakes. You see, I think my life is a lot like a cupcake. A cupcake by itself is good, but sometimes a little dry, maybe bland, not nearly as exciting. A cupcake with filling, though, is great! The filling keeps the cupcake overflowing with goodness, every bite is a surprise. And then to top it all off, of course, is the frosting that smothers the top of the cupcake, making it all you could ever dream it to be. I know, you have to be wondering by now, how am I like a cupcake. So I'll explain. I, without Christ, am dry, bland, ugly, plain, and was born a sinner (just a plain ol' cupcake). My filling is Christ, He fills me with His love, His grace, and His mercy, (which is new every morning, thankfully.) He makes me great, He fills me up to overflowing, He makes me beautiful, He makes me everything I am and most of all He makes me NEW! And He definitely keeps my life exciting. I always want a lot of Him, I want Him to be the beginning of my day, walk with me all day long, carry me through the hard times, and I want to remember to thank Him before I lay my head down at night. So that explains "A lot of Filling". Now I'll tell you about being smothered with icing. Because my God loves me, I am smothered with blessings. I am greatly blessed with a husband who works hard to allow me to stay home with my beautiful children. I am incredibly blessed to be a mom (doctors said it wasn't possible without medicine, I know the Great Physician). Not only was I blessed with two children the day I married, but God gave me two more miracle babies who are now 4 and 2. You'll get to hear a lot  about them I'm sure. I'm also blessed to have an incredible mom, dad, brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and in-laws too. I'm blessed with a beautiful home, an amazing group of friends, and an incredible church! I could go on and on and on, but I'm guessing you get the point, my blessings are my icing. I'm certain if you follow you will get to hear a lot more about my filling and my icing, who knows occassionally you'll probably get to know the plain old cupcake too.
