State of the Blog Address

I've been thinking about this blog a lot as of late and how I can best serve others. In truth, when I started this blog I was only mainly thinking of myself. I love to cook, but I hate cookbooks. I never can seem to remember what book I found a certain recipe in, which definitely doesn't make preparing meals any easier. I started this blog so that I could collect recipes I've tried and enjoyed in one place. And it certainly is fulfilling that purpose nicely, but I've been mulling some things over lately which may effect the way this blog runs. I used to have another blog, but I let that one die (in part) because there were somethings doctrinally I needed to sort out as well as making sure I was allowing God to work the things I was posting in my heart. There was/ is a real danger in digging into the Word and not allowing it to manifest change in my heart, and for a while I needed to step back and review that.

Since I shut that one down I've missed sharing my ramblings on God as I've grown in Him and I've missed being able to link to things that have encouraged me or post questions about things I'm trying to figure out. It was a nice outlet for me, and again it kept everything in one place. When I look at the first post of that blog and the final post I see how much God has moved in my life. Honestly, I feel like I was growing more when I was journaling my way through Scripture. I suppose I could just start posting over there again, but I think I like the idea of having a new place to post reflections and questions since my understanding of God's sovereignty has changed become more reformed.

At any rate, I'm still mulling this all over but it is very likely I may start posting more than recipes and music to eat by.

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn
