At a loss

I can't believe it has been two weeks since I have blogged. Can't seem to get motivated to do much these days. Have so many loose ends in my life right now that I would like to see all the pieces start falling together the way I want. Maybe that's the problem maybe its wanting things my way aren't His ways. Even though my way seems to be the best way for everything to work out. Have been looking for a job, something. There is just so much house a person can clean while their daughter is at school. Strange how the song I put on here weeks ago still speaks volumes about where I am right now.


I'm at a loss for words, there's nothing to say
I sit in silence wondering what led me to this place
How did my heart become so lifeless and cold
Where did the passion go?
When all my efforts seem like chasing wind
I've used up all my strength and there's nothing left to give
I've lost the feeling and I'm numb to the core
I can't fake it anymore.


chorus:
Here I am at the end I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
You speak and all creation falls to its knees
You raise Your hand and calm the waves of the raging sea
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering


chorus 2:Here I am once again I'm in need of resurrection
Only You can take this empty shell and raise it from the dead
What I've lost to the world what seems far beyond redemption
You can take the pieces in Your hand and make me whole again, again
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering

12-Layer Chocolate Cake

Lisa over at http://stopnsmellthechocolates.blogspot.com/2009/08/would-you-like-chocolate-with-that_28.html

is having Chocolate Friday.

So here's my recipe for chocolate.

12-layer chocolate cake

4 cups sugar

4 sticks butter

6 tbsp Crisco

5 cups self-rising flour

8 eggs

2 1/2 cups buttermilk

2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Combine sugar, butter, Crisco, eggs, and buttermilk, and vanilla. Cream together until smooth. Blend in flour a little at a time: mix for about two minutes. Bake very thin layers until done. I use a measuring cup and put one cup of batter in each pan. I spray my pans and put wax paper in them. The wax paper helps me to pull each layer out and put more batter into them before waiting for them to cool. Unless your fortunate enough to have 12 cake pans.

Chocolate Icing

4 cups sugar

2 sticks butter

6 tbsp. cocoa

1 cup milk

Melt butter, sugar and cocoa in saucepan. Add milk, bring to a boil. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat. Ice cake when icing begins to thicken. If it becomes to think rewarm. You want it to drizzle, syrupy, not real thick.
