Song of the Day

Draw me close to You 
Never let me go 
I lay it all down again 
To hear You say that I'm your friend 
You are my desire 
No one else will do 
Cause nothing else could take Your place 
To feel the warmth of Your embrace 
Help me find the way bring me back to You 

You're all I want 
You're all I ever needed 
You're all want 
Help me know You are near. 

(Ladies) 
Draw me close to You 
Never let me go 
I lay it all down again 
To hear You say that I'm your friend 
(Men) 
You are my desire 
No one else will do 
Cause nothing else could take Your place 
To feel the warmth of Your embrace 
(Everyone) 
Help me find the way bring me back to You 

You're all I want 
You're all I've ever needed 
You're all I want 
Help me know You are near (2x) 

Help me know You are near (2x) 

Whole30 Day 6

You know, I'm not even sure if I am on day 6 or 7. Either way, I feel my self confidence is going up. I believe it is because I am not eating all this junk and then regretting it. Again, having an apple or some other fruit for a sweet seems not to fill me up too much but is more satisfying knowing that it isn't a ton of calories. Don't get me wrong, I am craving chocolate, apple crisp, or really any sweet. I can do this, I can do this!

Missions

What is God's will for my life. The truth is that as a married woman with a child it is not "my" life, it is our life. So, what is God's will for our life. Where is God leading us and where is He going to open the doors for Jon to get a job or post grad.

I picture Jon working at a college overseas and me working in a school. Maybe this isn't what God wants me to do. I pray that God leads us.

"As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should."
Psalms 119:7

Whole30 Day 5

I am on day 5 of the Whole30 diet. So far it has been hard but it is good to know that I am being more healthy. After I eat a meal I like something sweet. To satisfy my sweet tooth I have eaten apples or pears, really any fruit that is somewhat sweet. Also, I am proud of myself for eating raisins last night. They actually weren't as gross as that have been in the past. Raisins are still not my favorite though. Last night Jon and I baked seasoned chicken in the oven and put my home made tomato sauce on it. If I could have dairy the sauce would make good Parmesan chicken. I pray that I can keep it up and realize how healthier food is better for me. It's crazy how much high fructose corn syrup is in everything and all the crazy ingredients in all the foods we eat. It's time to start making things at home and knowing what is going into our mouths/body.

These ideas make me want to set up a makeshift studio in our house and photograph the process of making these foods. Inspiring!
