It's Monday again! After an extended Christmas break due to weather, I had a hard time getting my head back into the school game. I've been so used to waking up with no agenda for the day. It didn't dawn on me until late yesterday and I needed clothes and lunch ready for Emmy. She's excited to see her friends and teacher again though. And I'm ready for routine! Last week my menu had dinners that were all at least 80% "clean". Moving to a more clean/whole diet is something I've wanted to do for a while, but it seemed overwhelming. I came across a 2 week menu on Pinterest and it was very doable looking. So, I planned our dinners around some of the recipes I saw on the plan. I did the same thing this week. The meals are at least 80% clean, as some of them don't include all organic ingredients. I planned through Thursday. My grocery shopping day is Friday and my menu usually starts over then. Monday- Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and spinach and cranberry salad. Tuesday- Chicken stir-fry and brown rice. Wednesday- Nachos/ Taco Salad Thursday- Chicken and cheese quesadillas, steamed mixed veggies. It's all pretty simple. I'll be using ground turkey for the Meatloaf and the Nachos/Taco Salad. It felt good last week to cook things from scratch. It left me feeling very satisfied with the meals I was preparing. And it felt good giving my family good healthy food. I'm going to try and continue to integrate healthy changes into our diet. Verse of the Week Aaron and I had the opportunity to head out to lunch today. It was a good time for us to be able to spend some time together and laugh and talk. We had a good opportunity to talk about the areas in our lives and in our marriage we need to trust God more. The area's that we've realized we're not being totally faithful to him. I love being able to have open honest relationships like that with the postman. But, in light of that conversation, I've chosen Psalm 9:10 as the verse of the week. Aaron and I are in a very unsure place. I feel like we're living in a fluid situation. We're just waiting for the Lord to say go, and we'll pick and go wherever that might be. But until then, we are trying to make sure we're doing the most we can do to continue being faithful to become more like him. I know that the Lord will never abandon us, He's promised us a hope and a future. But, I do believe that if we search for Him earnestly, we will never question his presence in the waiting.
Remember today that the more you search for him, the more you will find him. God does not hide from us. He does not play games. If you seek you will find. If you trust, he will catch. He will catch even if you don't truth. Because that's who he is. And that's how much he loves you. Happy Monday!
