Shabbat Link-Up!!

 What is a Shabbat Shalom (Sabbath Peace) LINKY?
Well, in short it is a bunch of Sabbath keepers from all over the U.S.(maybe someday even farther reaching than that) who link together through a LINKY TOOL to share Scriptures, worship music, devotions, studies, encouraging articles, special blessings, how and where they will be glorifying our Creator or ways they have found to keep the 7th Day Sabbath set apart.

We would love for you to join in and share! Here's how:

If you are new to observing Shabbat on the seventh day, I pray that the Ruach (Holy Spirit) will give you peace and lead your family. We have been observing Shabbat for many years and we continue to be convicted as we take time to study His Word and become doers of His Word. If you are looking for more information on Sabbath and His appointed times, please leave me a comment.

The Our Father Prayer

Over the past month Mom, Justice, and I have been learning the Avinu Prayer.... So far, we are all doing really well! : )

Here is the English transliteration link, it has really helped us pronounce the Hebrew words correctly. This video also helped us memorize it: {We haven't completely memorized the whole thing yet, but were on the last line.... So it won't be long!!} =D


And here is the Avinu Prayer in English:

9 "This, then, is the way you should pray: `Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, 10 let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 `Give us today our daily bread. 12 `And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 `And do not lead us into trial, 13 but deliver us from the wicked one – because Yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amein."
Matthew 6:9-13

Does anyone else read Hebrew? If so please leave a comment, and share with us your experience... Thank you, and SHABBAT SHALOM from our home to yours!! : )

What can man do to me?

I thought this song was very pretty the first time I heard it. Please tell me what you think in the comments section... Thanks for listening!! : ) {I promise that a longer post will be coming soon!}

Just a thought....

Here is a verse I found on the sidebar of my blog today, and just thought I would share, so...

  "But יהוה said to Shemuʼĕl, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him, for not as man sees, for man looks at the eyes, but יהוה looks at the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:7

A Young Maiden's Daybook- Part 9

I haven't been participating in this lately, due to lack of time... But hopefully since our schedule is now somewhat straitened out I will try to be more on top of things. {gee, i wonder how long that will last! lol... : D} Anyways:

 Today… Yom Sheini, (Nov 22, 2010)

Outside my window…The sun is coming up, and it's shining in my eyes... {which makes it very hard to type by the way.}

I am thinking… About starting to cover my hair... Hmmm.

I am thankful for… A warm house when it is really cold. *happy sigh*

I am wearing… My pj's...

I am reading… "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Otto H. Frank

I am creating… Ummm, let me think... *scratches head* I have absolutely no idea! lol...: )

One of my favorite things… Finding new comments to be published when I check my blog... 
{hint, hint} : )

For education this week… We are learning the rest of the "Avinu Prayer"

A keeper at home skill I am still using/learning … How to do a load of laundry without accidentally letting a red sock slip in there. {which of course means that we have pink socks and underwear.}

A spiritual lesson I’m learning… Modesty {and head coverings}

A godly character trait I plan to work on… Joy

Scripture I am memorizing...

"Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying."

Romans 12:12

I am praying for… YHWH's guidance through my life.

For the rest of the week… School, cooking, cleaning, reading, and other little tasks.

A picture I’d like to share…

 {a picture of me trying to figure out how to tie a tichel... how did i do?}
thanks for reading! <3
{p.s.- how do you like my new background?}

What's for dessert?

 This weekend for our Shabbat dessert, my dad requested that I make chocolate cake with vanilla frosting... So, I decided to share the recipe with you

Chocolate Cake:
2 c. Flour
2/3 c. Cocoa
1 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1 2/3 c. Sugar
4 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 c. Mayonnaise
1 1/3 c. Water

MIX all ingredients together, using a mixer. Bake in 2 {9 inch} round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.

Vanilla Frosting:
3 c. Powdered Sugar
1/4 c. Shortening {butter}
1/4 c. Water
2 tsp. Vanilla

STIR together 1 cup of the sugar, shortening and vanilla. Add remaining sugar and water alternately. Beat until smooth. Frost cooled cake.

Enjoy... And Shabbat Shalom!! : )
We decided it would be fun to make individual serving cakes, here are the results:

Busy, busy, busy!

 Busy Day Cake

• 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick), at room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9x9 inch pan, set aside.
Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add the flour in 3 parts, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour. Make sure each addition is incorporated before adding next. Add the salt, vanilla, baking powder, and nutmeg and mix until combined.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake until top is golden and tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. {We added cocoa powder to ours, but that is completely optional}

I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we do!

Shabbat Link-Up!!

 We are excited to continue the Shabbat Shalom Link-up. We encourage you to continue to submit scriptures, worship music, devotions, bible studies, encouragement articles on how to keep Shabbat set apart.

 Please share your family's Shabbat preparations with us. Do you have a special devotion, a special blessing, worship music, an encouraging post? How and where will you be glorifying our Creator? We'd love it, if you would share all that with us.

We are Experiencing Technical Difficulties.....

I am sorry to say that I will not be posting for a while... Reason being, our computer is acting funny, and loading too slowly for me. I know that patience is a virtue, but it is one that I most definitely struggle with when it comes to blogging. =P With that being said, I will start posting again once this silly computer finally decides to stop taking sooo long. Hopefully, that will be in the very near future...!
