‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17
God is so much greater than we are. I often forget that God can do above and beyond what we ask for. We have only to look up at the sky and look around at God’s creation to know that He is greater. He created it all with a word, and upholds it day in and day out by His power. What is outside of His control? Is there anything that comes apart from His sovereign hand? Our circumstances don’t change who God is. Nothing is too hard for him.
Studio Update:
My favorite project from the past month… coral peonies and yellow tulips with dogwood blossoms! Then, played around with a random assortment of flowers onto a page. Mom and I started up a ‘tiny painting challenge’ together, so we’ve been creating some tiny art (for fun).
Almond Scones
- 9 oz all purpose flour
- 2 oz sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup cold butter
- 2 oz finely chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Whisk the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add almonds. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, egg, vanilla, and almond extract until well blended. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined. Bake at 425° F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
