Sunday afternoon baking 🙂
Definitely got my making groove on today
Yummy biscuits (with golden syrup in them) and still hot, with a fresh mug of tea 😊
And a Victoria sandwich cake just gone in the oven

Good morning! Wake up, get some coffee and a slice of courage!
Have you ever thought about how the scripture says to "take" courage?
"Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD." Psalm 30:2
Courage is like faith. It doesn't just appear and insert itself into your life. It is something we must take hold of and exercise. It starts out very small and weak, but it can grow very quickly. We don't often become overcomers overnight. Start small and grow tall.
Let's take some courage today 💪🏼 and advance the Kingdom of God. ✝️ 🔥Can I get an "amen"?
I love this verse and someone needs to hear this today:
"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created." Revelation 4:11
You are not a mistake. You exist because God wanted you too. You are God's intentional design. Do not throw away God's beautiful and worthwhile creation. You were imagined by God, fashioned by God, and redeemed by God.
Because of God's will, you exist and were created. Do not resist God's will. Live your life, embrace your life, and trust in God's redemptive, forgiving power.
What's going on in Australia.

Wishing all Dingdashers a Happy New Year! 🍾❄🎊🎆 We live in uncertain times in many ways, and don't know what the future holds - but we know who holds the future. Some of you live under more pressure than others. I pray for peace in your hearts! It's easier said than done, and I am learning myself to trust the Lord when it comes to things I worry about.
Most of us have felt more isolated the last almost two years. I worked from home during 1,5 years, except from the fall of 2021 (and will continue in Jan). I haven't traveled outside of Finland and Sweden for 2 years. We haven't attended big events. It's strange and frustrating. I've learnt to love nature even more. I took this picture yesterday close to home, and this untouched snow and vast forest almost made me cry. We have enjoyed this beautiful white winter ever since around Nov 20th. This dark time of the year (light for appr. 4 hours) can be depressing if it's raining, as some winters.
It's a New Year, so let it go!

It’s been lovely seeing both the personal, and generic messages, from friends and family, wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
So, Happy New Year from the BerryBunch!
Happy New Year, 2022
But, as you’d expect from me, I had a thought that was less to do with the upcoming 12 months, and more to do with last 12 instead.
It’s great to have goals, dreams and ambitions. But, I was struck by the sadness, and emptiness, of one post that basically said they hoped we all got what we wanted in the coming year.
Wishing you a Blessed, Beautiful, Balanced and Bountiful New Year 2022!

Please keep my fellow Coloradans in your prayers. Thousands lost their homes yesterday in fires. Should be getting some snow in a few hours, which should help.

PRAYER: there is 13,000000 people under 100% lockdown in one city in China. They are not allowed to come outside of their home. At all. Period. Or risk 10 days in jail and a fine.
Please pray for food to get to them all as the gov seems a little SLOW in meeting this need! And please pray for the elderly people as this scared them. They watched millions of people starve back in their younger days. Their friends. They’re family. Etc.
A couple other cities are also locking down in various degrees.
No Covid before Olympics is the cry of China!
There is 1300 cases in Xi’an.
Marriage Matters, Don't Awaken Love Before It's Time, S1, E4
Andy B and Jo jump right in with Song of Songs, the book in the bible all about marriage. And in this book, we are warned more than once – ‘Do not awaken love before it’s time’.
This is a gentle way of telling us about intimacy in relationships and the best time to awake this kind of love is when we are married.
#RealTalk
Andy and Jo take a look at Song of Songs. This is God’s instruction on all things marriage, dating and sex. They talk through the effects of erotic literature, pornography and nudity on TV, and whether this is something that is good or bad for us.

The 4th episode of our Marriage Matters Podcast is out this afternoon, from 4pm: "Don't awake love before it's time".
It was recorded at the end of October, and we think it's a good one on a hot topic...but, like in life, sometimes our best laid plans go to the wall!
The challenge is to keep going and do what we can when we can.
God isn't looking for a happy marriage. But He is looking for how we do marriage; how we do life with our spouse. We can't control them, or be responsible for them, anymore than they are for us. But we are responsible, before God, for how we treat them and love them.
Happy Thursday peoples

URGENT PRAYER - please pray for me and my sister -we both have severe covid pneumonia and have very low oxygen levels - we need a miracle from God to be healed. I am in the hospital and they keep trying to give me remdesevir and want to put me on a ventilator. I'm so very scared - please pray for me. my sister is being treated at home - she found a Dr that will prescribe ivermectin - we are waiting for it to arrive. we both truly need a miracle.
Legalistic and self-righteous believers have this unique talent to tear apart all the decent conversations (mostly on Facebook, but even here on Ding Dash) bringing to the table nothing else but condemnation.
So... dear Brother, dear Sister, if you are a target in social media:
Stay strong, do the thing you were called to do, do not get distracted by anonymous people attacking you.
I'll be praying for extra strength and patience for you - just let me know.
