Brownies and Applesauce

Today I made homemade applesauce. It was yummy. Then I made brownies, which were really strange because I had to replace most of the cocoa with carob powder, some type of ten-year-old cocoa substitute from our freezer. But then again, I must have eaten a fifth of that pan of brownies.

April Fools

Wow I have not written in a long time. That is because I have no time. Now I do though because it is the Easter Weekend. In the past few months I have done many things, such as go to Quebec and done a Biology IA in one day. I do not recommend this. Actually I did it twice. I have had my first IB tears, which is not bad I guess... I made it almost to the end without having a breakdown. However I just could not handle it.
I read the book Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernières which is the best book I have read all year, I would say. It made me want to fall in love, specifically with an Italian. I know only two Italians. Really they are Canadian, with immigrant parents or grandparents. One is my uncle by marriage, and the other is in my French class. Neither of them are anything like the fictional Antonio. Oh and I also watched Life is Beautiful, and that also made me want to fall in love with an Italian.
I went to a missions conference and I bought the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. This is what he says about worry and stress: "Worry implies that we don't quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives. Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control." I found this applied to my life very well because I am often taken over by worry and stress.
I would upload some photos but my computer is being bad.
