Chocolate Covered Faith

Tonight, life is blessing me with a rare second chance to get something right. I am humbled and truly grateful to start my second chocolate journey from the exact same spot where I began the first time. I will be sampling my exquisite artisan truffles for Wine Down Main tonight inside the Franklin Mercantile. What a joy!

As I have come to realize, during my time with chocolate, God will use any way He can to be present with us, to teach us of His affection for us and to show us His unwavering faithfulness. For me, chocolate has been the vehicle. This very personal and intimate time learning about God through chocolate has changed me, enlightened me and saved me and my family.

I refer to this understanding of God’s nature, Chocolate Covered Faith. It is my very personal and practical glimpse into the heart of God that He, by His grace, allowed me to witness first hand. Just like chocolate, His grace, His love and His provision is rich, thick and good, covering our imperfections perfectly and beautifully.

Oh, how I wish to share this faith with the world. It is so different than the faith that I was taught in Sunday School. It is the truth of God from His own heart, unbiased and unwavering.

I want you to join me in my journey to share chocolate with the world and along with it, the truth of the LOVE of God...it is for everyone and it is so GOOD!!

This is what’s in my heart. 

Good Morning, Starshine!!

...the Earth says, “Hello!”

(If you know where that quote comes from, comment below for a free truffle. 😍)

The quote is significant for where I am at in life right now...coming out of hiding in my wonderful, private world and announcing that I’m ready to share my thoughts again!!  Lucky you!! Haha...

It has been a long time since I have shared my chocolate perspective, there have been a lot of pains and a lot of joys in my personal life...and in all of our collective lives that we share here on this beautiful, broken planet that we call home.

One thing I keep coming back to is chocolate. :)  Not just because it is a type of “home” for me, but also because it continually reminds me of all that is GOOD in the world. Love, laughter and pure delight can be found in the taste and smell of this miraculous “food of the gods.”

I truly believe that chocolate can change the world one bite at a time. As we contemplate it, as we share it, and as we let it teach us how to slow down and TASTE the delicious life that is happening all around us.

I apologize for my 5 year absence on this topic, I had to be reminded of a few things. Now, I am back...stronger than ever, broken, but healed...and ready to share again.  I have a new confidence that my voice can make a difference in this life.

As always...I leave you with this reminder...

Love, Laugh, Think Chocolate!

My Best~
