Welcome to my Blog!!

The purpose of this blog is to document my journey through culinary school and to give God the glory for every step along the way.  I started looking into culinary school at the beginning of this year. And with each step I prayed for God to guide me and make it clear to me if this was the direction He wanted me to go. God has definitely kept His promise that if we sincerely ask Him to show us His will for our life He will be faithful to show us.  He has made it abundantly clear to me with many examples that this is His plan for me.  So even though I am nervous about the change for me and my family I am willing to walk through the door and enter a new enviroment.  I must admit it is quite frightening but at the same time very exciting! I have confidence that Christ will be with me all along the way giving me His strength and courage to face any challenge or obstacle. I think of Joshua, newly appointed leader after the death of Moses, preparing to lead the nation of Israel into the promise land. God repeatedly told him to be strong and courageous. In chapter 1 verse 9 God said to Joshua "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." This is such a comfort to have The Lord Almighty promise to always be with us! So as I begin classes on July 16th I will go with God beside me. For I know that I can do "All things through Christ who strengthens me"!
