meet the meat that i meet.

Ever since I moved to canada, away from my room mate, jonathan Spainhour's i have missed steaks being cooked to perfection, & i've been trying myself to achieve restraunt quality medium rare meat !! Anyway so i got this book about the subject, (even though i could just read about it online, books are so much more palpable & sexy). anyway after owning the book for maybe 3-4 months i actually read it !! & took the auther's advice, & it is freaking awesome !! thank you awesome author, Cree Lefavour.

check it out your self, the new steak.

the waistline....

well the rumors that were so viciously told previous to marriage about your waistline disappearing and clothing getting a bit tighter....are sad to say....TRUE!

how did we come to face this fact? well, stephen and i are in the middle of packing up and moving once again and this meant going through our closet. we both came across a pair of pants that we are now refering to as our "dream pants",  it's pretty staright forward as to why we are calling them that, but it's our dream to fit into these pairs of pants again for our trip to San Francisco! this means we have some work to do...just another challenge we get to overcome together. ha ha!

we have come to realize it's one of those things in life you just need to have a chuckle at, enjoy, and DO something about otherwise it's a little upsetting ; ) needless to say we're chosing the "bright side" of things!

Weak Flip

I hit this gem today, in 1 Corinthians right after he (being paul) finished talking about dis-Unity (divisions), he used the next section as a logical reason not to have divisions. To be complete in the same mind & judgment, then he basically says we are nothing without God, that our wisdom is based off something that is foolish to others, the Cross. It's quite profound when you think about it. Our leader died relieved us from the world of sin & gave us wisdom by flipping everything on it's head. When you're weak you are strong, if you want to become great become nothing, etc. Then these weak people suddenly through nothing of themselves were made strong. I can really live with that & believe in that & Humbly accept that.

Recently I've been so aware that the mission we're all on is so impossible, it's foolish even! But with God we are made strong, His miracles will work through us SO THAT at the end of our lives we can say that it was Him. I have realized that what is Foolish to the world, through us can save the world, and that my part was not wisdom & strategy or any other strong feat, but my part was love for my faith along with Grace from Him. I believe that Grace that got me here, will lead me home.
