good morning my beautiful friends. I pray that are ready for a wonderful day. a gift from the hand of God today. it's really beautiful and sunshiny here in my neck of the woods today. I hope I can get a lot done today. yesterday was a long day for me. I done a lot of freezer cooking.
I made:
11 bags of sweet potato bites baked, flash frozen, bagged and in the freezer.
11 bags of russet potato bites baked, flash frozen, bagged and in the freezer.
6 bags of radish bites baked, flash frozen, bagged and in the freezer.
yogurt strained and made into greek yogurt.
whey from the yogurt frozen in cubes and bagged and in the freezer.
4 bags of chopped and diced onions and bell peppers frozen.
and a batch of homemade granola made.
when I'm working, it doesn't seem like I get anything done, but when I make notations about it, I see that I did get a lot done and kinda proud of that fact. I'm sure I won't get as much done today, because I have other things to do and I need to help my husband with some things too. but I'm really happy to have gotten what I got done yesterday. someone told me that if I don't take pictures, I didn't really do it. hahaha well, I was laser focused on the tasks at hand yesterday and didn't get pics, but the next time I make granola, I'll try to remember to take pics and share. and I done the radish bites. I've never done those before and I don't know what I think about them. for now, I'm thinking they will have to have some balsamic glaze on them to help make them more palatable. the sulfuric compounds in the radishes is pretty strong and it's not my favorite flavor for sure. but I do love balsamic glaze and that's a wonderful way to not let something go to waste. hahaha the frozen whey will be used to make more yogurt. I'll toss a couple of cubes in my instant pot along with the milk and a little powdered milk and it's always delicious. I can also use whey in the making of my homemade breads too. the bell peppers and onions are always an addition to most of my electric pressure cooker meals. we love the combo of onions and peppers in most everything. and then the homemade yogurt calls for granola, so I made a batch. actually, the first batch I ever made. it's delicious and it won't be the last batch.
well, that's what I done yesterday and I don't mind telling you that I'm tired, just from rehashing it. hahaha
-----------------------
starting at Jeremiah Chapter 10, is there anything in your life that you put before your relationship with God? wealth, your job, your technology, your things? any and all of these things have become modern day idols, even for God's people. what do you love more than you God? we have to recognize the power of God over our lives and submit to Him in order to be in a right relationship with Him. even a lot of people worship worship more than they worship God. you know what I'm talking about, you've seen it, and may even practice it without even recognizing it. we have to worship God in spirit and truth. a lot people think they're worshiping God , but they're worshiping the band. spirit and truth is what God is looking for.
Chapter 11, have you made any commitments to God? are you honoring those commitments and living up to the promises you've made? disobedience is real and it needs to be recognized that is has consequences. repentance and turning back to God's will over your life is necessary. we must share the truth, even when the truth isn't popular and most people don't want to hear the truth. even a lot of church people have no room for truth in their lives. pray for courage to share the truth even when it's not wanted. we have to look inward for any signs of stubbornness and rebellion and then address it with God. ask Him to break our hearts for the thing that break His heart.
Chapter 12, we live in evil and wicked times and we just have to know that God's justice will prevail in His timing. so we continue to pray for courage. we have to dig deeper into the word of God to strengthen our faith as we face the days ahead. we need to be focusing on Gods bigger plan instead of what's right before us. we get tunnel vision and focus just on the spot we can see and not the whole picture. God sees the whole picture, we see just the spot we live in for the moment. God will judge, but when He judges, He also offers repentance, redemption and restoration.
Chapter 13, do you have pride in your life? if so, get rid of it. if you see yourself as better than anyone around you, get over it. pride can block God's blessings and if that's the case, think about it and change the course of your life. strength, usefulness and purposefulness comes from a strong relationship with God. humility is necessary to serve God in any capacity. everyone has the ability to sin. it's when we stray from God that it gets easier to sin. stay close to God. repent and stay close to Him.
we'll pick up at chapter 14 next time.
----------------------------
giggle for the day:
Q - What did the duck say after she bought chapstick?
A - Put it on my bill!
hahaha that duck is quackers!!!
------------------------
well, I guess that's about it for this morning. I pray that we all have a great day in the name of Jesus Christ!!! let us keep searching after the heart of God in all that we do. I pray that we all have sunshine outside and Sonshine inside. let's see what today brings and enjoy the blessings directly from the hand of God. blessings of strength and purposefulness today.
hugs and love, patty
