good morning my beautiful friends. I hope and pray that you are warm and cozy this morning. it's kinda chilly again in my neck of the woods and I'll have to say it again, I'm ready for spring. I don't care that big old groundhog said, I want me some spring. hahaha you know what, it will be spring when God say's it's spring. so, I'll figuratively and literally have to "hold my taters" and wait for spring before I can plant them. hahahaha well, I know I'm right about that, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. hahahaha I am looking forward to gardening this year. I just pray that my knee holds out for me. I've been having an issue and I'd appreciate it if you would pray for me that I can make it thru this gardening season. I'd love for the problem to just disappear, and it will, if it's God's will. anyway, I thank you in advance for your prayers. now, let's get on with seeing what this beautiful day holds for us. I sure hope it's a good one for all of us!!

another "2 minutes in the kitchen with me". when I went to Aldi the other day I got another bag of russet potatoes and another bag of sweet potatoes. so I got them peeled, chopped, seasoned and scratched and dug around finally found enough pans to put everything on and have them ready to go in the counter top oven, one tray at a time. I use about a tablespoon of avocado oil, a palm full of minced dehydrated onions and garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. mix that all up real good making sure the oil and seasonings are distributed evenly.
when I get ready to use them, all I have to do is take out a few of each for our meal and pop them in the air fryer along with what ever else we're having, and meal is ready in no time flat.
the reason I'm doing this is to get rid of the expense of keeping ready made french fries in the freezer all the time. I know all the ingredients in these. I used a wonderfully healthy oil on them, and not a lot of it at that. I minced and dehydrated the onions and garlic myself. so it can't get much cleaner than that. these will be handy later on when I'm busy with gardening and what ever else may be going on. I plan to do a bag each a week for the next 2 or 3 more weeks and that should get us set with our potatoes. oh, I forgot to tell y'all, we enjoy potatoes. hahahaha

we pick up in 1 Chronicles Chapter 5. we're looking at all the genealogy and talking about all the kings up to this particular point in scripture. one of the things to take away from the 2 books of Chronicles is that we can see what obedience to God does and we can see what disobedience to God does. some that were disobedient lost their birthright, some lost their lives, some lost their position, some lost their families. I think it's still the same today. when we blatantly disobey God today, all of those things can happen. we just don't look at situations today the same way that God looked at them and the same God still looks at those same situations. we gloss over sin and make it something desirable when in reality, God calls it detestable, abominable and despicable. if we learn to look at sin thru the same lens that God sees sin, it would change our perspective drastically. but we see everything thru the lens that everything is acceptable in the eyes of God. just so you know, that's a lie straight from the pits of hell. obedience results in God's blessings. I always want to be obedient to God. I know I'm not always obedient, but I do repent and seek forgiveness. God is always faithful!!! and in scripture, obedience led to the promises that God had made for the house and lineage of David. another takeaway, is to look back and see where God is always faithful and to see where we aren't so much faithful. looking back can be a source a of hope for the future. I know that on this side of the cross, I do have a future and that future is because Christ died on the cross for me. so I can look back and see my many fatal flaws and mistakes, but I can also see and know that Christ is my salvation. He has covered my past with His blood, and my future is full of the hope that I have in Christ. everything in the old testament was pointing to the cross. I'm so thankful that Christ was obedient to His Father. because we all have a future in Christ, if we want it. we just have to be obedient and accept Christ as our Lord and Savior.well, this is where we'll wrap it up today. I hope you seen something useful here today. I hope that you are doing your own reading and studying while we are going thru the bible. I don't know how long I'll keep up the pace of posting every day. I love it, and I also love posting about what I've done in the kitchen too. but I feel like I'm about to run out of anything to share from there too. I don't know what we'll do, but hopefully I can keep doing something. I pray that we all will have a great day today and that we will be obedient to the call of God over our lives. being obedient to that call will more than likely put us in a position of servitude to others. are we ready for that? I sure hope so. Lord prepare us to serve You today. be blessed today!!! hugs and love, patty
