"Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be. Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before." -Erich Fromm-

Blah,,, It's Monday!
Good Evening Purpose Filled people! I hope your weekends went well. For me, the weekend was a blur, but a very relaxing blur. Saturday Morning i awoke to the smell of French Toast...Thanks to my Daddy...he never forgets what his little girls favorite breakfast is!! [SN: i finally learned his recipe!!!] the rest of the weekend was all around... calm and relaxing!
I've had a lot on my mind as of lately... And I tend to stress over little things that are literally of no importance. Often times I find myself struggling to maneuver over the mountain...a mountain that serves no purpose, or so i think. When all our struggles leave us winded, gasping for air an unable to speak...it is then that we are at long last able to stop and listen to God's voice breaking through the clouds of adversity. And it is so refreshing to know that he always has my back!
On a less serious note... I wanted to share all the LOVELY food I(and the family) indulged in this weekend and this evening. =0) Remember to wipe the drool afterward...
Crunchy Munch
Cowboy
Good 'ol California Roll(bottom) and Tuna Roll(Top)
Fried Catfish w/ Roasted Potatoes
Fire Grilled Trout w/ Grilled Corn and Roasted Potatoes
Sesame Duck
Posole
Lemon Bars
I'm Sure you can tell which dishes I prepare, as they aren't as fancy, but they are tasty all the same!
Tomorrow we have a potluck at work and I'm headed to the kitchen to prepare some Stuffed Strawberries... wish me luck!!

I leave you all with my prayer...
God, help me to remember your success is mine. My fear is disabled by your presence. I will wait on you, for things that are worthwhile don't... come instantly. In due season, we shall reap.
[Psalm 27]
"...Fear not, for I have redeemed you; have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God..." ▪Isaiah 43:1-3▪
Stealing Moments
Be inspired!
Romans 8:35-39 (New International Version)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”j]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[j]
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,k]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[k] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
My love for GOD is superfluous! My family is my life! There's a tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite my own "situations". I've learned to admire, but not envy. Follow, but not imitate. Praise, but not flatter .&. Lead, but not manipulate. I'm taking back my power .&. living by example! I hope you enjoy the musings of a woman on a mission to grasp her destiny.
Side Note: [°I Rule this Beech!!°]
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Looking at all of that food made me hungry! And I haven't even had breakfast yet!
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of seafood there, Miss B. So...those lemon bars look yum! LOL Save a stuffed strawberry for me.
