Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookies
Last week Thursday I read something that about brought tears to my eyes. The words jumped right off the page and cut straight to my heart of hearts, through all the bull crap and walls I had put up.
What did I read?
Well, it was this.
“I am a God who heals. I heal broken bodies, broken minds, broken lives, and broken relationships. You cannot live close to me without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not because you ask not. Ask and you will receive.”
Many of you know our struggle to get pregnant with our second child. We’ve been trying for two years and I truly believe with everything in my heart that God has promised us a second child. But for whatever reason it hasn’t happened yet. I’ve gone through seasons of frustration with my body, with God, with other people who seem to get pregnant just by their husbands looking at them. Then I’ve gone through seasons of peace and contentment with waiting on Gods timing.
I feel like right now I’m in the later season but after reading this devotional on Thursday I realized, I’ve forgotten to ask. I’ve forgotten to ask for God to bless us with a second child. I think I had asked so much in the past that I became tired of asking and never receiving. So I just stopped.
How do I expect to receive if I never ask?
I mean think about it. I tell Cason to ask me if he wants something. Anything. Most of the time, if it is good for him, I will give it him. Why? Because I love him and want to give him good things that will make him happy. I love seeing the joy and excitement on his face.
So if we, in our humanness desire to give our children anything they ask for, how much more do you think God desires to bless his children? All we have to do is ask!
All that to say. I’m going to start asking again.
While we’re on the subject of asking. The other day Cason was asking me to make some chocolate chip cookies. Soo… of course I was going to make them! {chocolate is always good for you} But I wanted to change up the recipe a little bit!
I’ve eaten my fair share of pizookie’s {skillet cookies} at restaurants but I have never made one at home. Well, today I am changing that in the best way possible!
