I feel as if I am a phoenix rising from ashes even though
a lot of folks might look at my life and think it’s in ashes. I started this
blog almost 2 years ago in an effort to write
my way back to God. My, oh my, it has been a wrestling match at times.
Sweaty faith is not a pretty faith. I am finding,
however, that sweaty faith is a tenacious faith. In the process of all that
wrestling and sweating and writing, amazing things began to happen.
I celebrate those unexpected and amazing twists and
turns with you tonight as a testament to all that I have learned in my growth
as a blogger.
Somehow, my journey of faith has been in parallel with my journey
as a blogger. I don't understand it. I just know it seems to have been the way
God planned things because that's how they've turned out!

In celebration
of where I've been and where I’m going, I have a freebie to share with you! It's my first attempt at this part of my blogging journey. A day I never envisioned two years ago because, frankly, I had never heard of free printables!
While preparing our lunch today, I created a recipe for Bacon Cheddar Cornbread
and got so excited when it worked (and turned out well) that I decided to try
and make a free download.
My heart will actually be in my throat until someone tells me it all works without a hitch. Because, you know me . . . I’m a-skeert nothing I do is gonna work right the first time I try.
I am, after all, that woman to whom the secretaries used to shriek in horror, “Back slowly away from the copier!”
Who knew the day would come that I could envision, much less attempt, such a technologically savvy project!
This recipe download is the 1st step in a brand new series of efforts. If you have become a Facebook friend of the Fraidy Cat, you know I’ve alluded to a new website. I am happy to announce progress on FraidyCatCarol.Com is well underway.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be introducing you to what’s ahead on the
new site and sharing how God has been faithful to honor my willingness to
wrestle with him.
Lord willin’ and the creek
don’t rise, I hope to launch FraidyCatCarol.Com by January 31st. Say a prayer when
you think of me. These are exciting times. Exciting and scary. Know what I
mean?  |

Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Woohoo! I downloaded it and it looks awesome! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYEA! I'm so excited I don't know if I'll be able to sleep! I was so late getting it up. But, LOOK! I can DO IT! YIPPPPEEE!
DeleteMe too, Carol Anne. It's printing while I type my comment. You're my bacon cheddar hero!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it as much as my crew did! Should I post a picture of me in my hero cape? ;-)
DeleteCarol Anne, I'm so excited for you! A new website and a new journey with the Lord-- how awesome! Can't wait to see how He uses you to continue empowering women and strengthening his saints through your writing and transparency. Go forth in his power!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you! I'm so thankful for the opportunities that have come across my path and for the plans for the future that seem to be falling into place. I hold them loosely knowing that a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps!
DeleteYou did it! And I got it! Looks yummy. :-)
ReplyDeleteYEA! Hope you enjoy it as much as my vultures..I mean taste testers liked it. I almost didn't get a 2nd piece!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing this with us at "Try a New Recipe Tuesday!" It looks so good, I can't wait to try it. Hope you will be able to join us again next week! Many blessings, Lisa
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa, My friend, Susan of Homeschooling Hearts and Minds suggested I link to your linky! One of my 1st linky efforts and my 1st printable at the same time! I'm dizzy! Have a blessed weekend!
DeleteI just have to say, you managed the download quite well. As a fellow blogger trying to figure out all this tech stuff, too, would you point me in the right direction to creating this type of download. The method I used was more cumbersome. By the way - recipe looks delicious! I think my family will love it. Just the sound of bacon in anything gets my mouth to watering :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Angela. YEA! So glad folks are having a good experience. I created a Google docs account and did it from there. It was kinda confusing, but if I can do it, anyone can! Other friends do it in Paint, if I recall. I'll have to double check. Inbox me via my contact info if you want more info!
