Healthy lifestyle – another meal prep day!

Not much time to talk today, or recently honestly because it's been busy around here with a huge garage sale. We are getting back on our feet and getting back to our normal routine, including the all important meal prep day. This week's new offerings: lean veggie – infused meatloaf, chicken stew baby food, and marinated chicken breast. Out of the freezer I pulled the second batch of the Southwest chicken chili I made a couple of weeks ago. I will put half of the meatloaf mixture into the freezer for a future week. That way we never get bored
, but when I make a batch it does double duty!

Waiting on the Lord, Being Still

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 Waiting on the Lord, Being Still Scripture: Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Mark 4:39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Psalm 62:5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. Job 6:24 “Teach me, and I will be silent; make me understand how I have gone astray.

Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Four Steps and a Heart Check (The Discipline of Study, Part 3) (Inspired by Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster)

Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Four Steps and a Heart Check (The Discipline of Study, Part 3) (Inspired by Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster) Devotional: It’s important to take the time to lay a foundation for what study involves. The four steps as presented by Pastor Foster are: 1.        Repetition: science has confirmed that the centuries old practice of repetition of a subject will train the mind and cause ingrained patterns to be set. God’s design is that when we repeat a subject, we are likely to reach understanding. 2.        Concentration: In a world centered on distraction, a one-thing focus and intention to concentrate on a subject at hand, such as we are in this study of Celebration of Discipline, is a needed remedy for fragmented lives. 3.        Comprehension: John 8:32 says we shall KNOW the truth, and the truth will make us free. It isn’t enough to hav...

Spotlight Syndrome

While talking over today's Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest devotional with Robert at breakfast, it occurred to me that while it is true that we were not expected to use our abilities to fulfill the purposes of God in and of themselves, we are indeed  called to shine. Perhaps the problem comes when we believe that we are to be in the spotlight – meaning by contrast that all others must be shrouded in darkness in order for us to shine.  God is an artist, and we are the outworking of his internal and intrinsic beauty.  I have long been terrified to shine.

I want this to be the last year that I worry about whether or not I doubt myself, or listen to the criticisms of others.  Someone I love once told me that I will never succeed because I will never do the work it takes to succeed. Because of that, I have lived under a shroud of fear. N...
