A fig cake

My friends, I want to share those verses with you. Sometimes, we feel lost, we don't know where we are, everything is new and unsettle us. However, the Lord our God loves us and He will pursue us with his love because we are his creatures, his beloved children. We know that when He promises something, unlike men or women,,He keeps his promises. 
You may wonder why I chose these verses! Our fig tree has brought us plenty of figs, we've shared them around and there are still so many. What a blessing among others. Simple things in life are actually important, such as being able to meet friends, some who are Christian friends, some who are on a journey! Have you wondered in which part of your journey you are? Are you rushing around, not knowing where you are, maybe you have heard of those Christians who are despised because of their belief! Maybe you could pause for a while, checking things out properly, i.e. one question stands out, who was He, this guy who was innocent  but ended up crucified! His name, Jesus-Christ, God incarnate, meaning He was (is forever) God, son of God who made sure that He told us He 

7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills; 
9a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills can be mined for copper.…

I have tried to bake something different for our meeting tomorrow, Filling station, at Villefagnan, near Ruffec.

250g unsalted butter at room temperature
100g walnuts
100g hazelnuts
250g golden castor sugar
3 large eggs
125g plain flour
8 ripe figs

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180c/350f/gas mark 4. Grease a square cake tin (approx 21 cm). Mix the hazelnuts, most of the walnuts, the sugar. Add the butter until the mixture starts combining together, crack in the eggs.Add the flour and mix till well combined.

Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin, top with the figs sliced into 1/2 cm thick slices. Put in the oven for 45-55 minutes, check with a skewer to see if it comes out clean – if so, the cake is ready.

I am the least in my family!

In the Old Testament, Judges 6 show us that in the middle of disasters, the Lord is still among us and He hears our cries. Moreover He is not insensitive to our plea!

Forever God is faithful!

Forever God is faithful
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise

Father, we thank you for a new day in your grace and mercy. We thank you Jesus-Christ, our Lord and Messiah, for what you have done on the cross, when you died you took our sins, you redeemed us, you broke the bondage of our sins and gave us freedom As 1 Peter 1:18-19 explains, it took the greatest price that could ever be paid to free us from our bondage to sin . . . “you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, [the blood] of Christ.”

45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Luke 1:45

32 “We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors
33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:
“‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.’
34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,
“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
Acts 13:32:34

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
Hebrews 10-23

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
