Singing Sunday--From The Inside Out

From The Inside Out
by Hillsong United

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul
I give you control
Consume me from the inside out
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Singing Sunday-- Can't Take Away

Can't Take Away
by Mike Grayson, Sam Tinnesz, Jason Ingram (Mikeschair)

All around 
All of us 
Fear has come and so we must 
Ask ourselves 
In who we trust 
What we have here 
Is not enough 
So let it ring 
In freedom sing 

You can take away 
Everything that I've been holding 
You can take away the sun 
You can take away the very air that I've been breathing 
But you can't take away my God 
Oh, my God, my God 

Waves will come 
And winds will blow 
But it's not here I've found my hope 
My beating heart 
My very soul 
Is held by one who won't let go 
And so I'll cling 
To You my King 

You can take away 
Everything that I've been holding 
You can take away the sun 
You can take away the very air that I've been breathing 
But you can't take away my God 
Oh, my God, my God 

A hope that can't be lost 
A love that can't be bought 
You can't take away my God 
Nothing high or low 
Nothing you can control 
You can't take away my God 

You can take away 
Everything that I've been holding 
You can take away the Sun 
You can take away the very air that I've been breathing 
But you can't take away my God 

No you can't 
No you can't 
Take away my God 
No you can't 
No you can't 
No you can't 
Take away my God, Oh My God, My God.

Singing Sunday--Our God

Our God

by Chris Tomlin


Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shining
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You

CHORUS
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

Into the darkness you shining
Out of the ashes we Rise
There’s no One like You
None like You.

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

BRIDGE
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who can ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God…

Homemade Belgian Waffles

A couple of weeks ago, I took the time to make up some homemade waffles to have in my freezer and to give to my parents so that they had something different for breakfast other than cold cereal.

I noticed this morning that stash that I have in my freezer is just about gone!  I am going to need to think about adding to it in the next week or so. I love having things like these in the freezer because it makes for an easy quick breakfast for my kids.

Here is the original recipe:
Money Saving Mom's Favorite Whole-Wheat Waffles

1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

This recipe makes 6-8 waffles. Crystal made comments about using water for some of the milk and also using fruit puree for half of the oil needed for the recipe. So I decided to tweak the recipe based on her comments along with making a triple batch.

Here is my tweaked triple batch recipe: 

2 cups white flour
3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup + 2 TBSP sugar
3 TBSP baking powder
6 eggs
3 cups 2% milk
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup canola oil
3 tsp. vanilla

Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Pour batter onto lightly-oiled waffle iron and bake until done.  The triple batch makes 18 whole waffles.

To freeze, Let them cool completely and then stick 5-6 in each freezer bag.  I usually separate the waffles into the four sections so it easier for my kids to grab just 1/2 a waffle to heat up.

To thaw, just pull them straight out of the freezer and heat in the microwave, in the oven or in the toaster.  My kids put them in the toaster(on the 3 or 4 setting) and then in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
