What a great weekend we had! Yesterday we were able to get our family pictures taken and I'm so excited about seeing how they turned out! The menu this week is going to be a little short. I only planned meals for Monday and Tuesday as my parents will be here on Wednesday and we'll be figuring out a meal plan for the rest of their visit once they get here. So, here's the menu for this week... Monday- Spaghetti and Meatballs. I use whole wheat spaghetti usually and today I'll be using the leftover turkey meatballs from the veggie mac and meatballs from last week. Tuesday- Chicken Enchiladas. This got bumped from the menu last week and it's one of my favorites so I'm doing it this week. Plus, I have all the ingredients for it still. No need to buy anything for it. I did go grocery shopping, but I only needed to pick up a few staples- things that Aaron uses every day for his lunch and things like that. I spent a total of $19 on groceries for this week. Obviously, because it's a rather short week of planning, that made a difference. Verse of the Week I haven't gone back and looked to verify (and let's just be honest, I barely remember what I wore yesterday), but I'm pretty sure this was the verse of the week a month or so ago. But, it's more of a theme verse this week than a memory verse. The theme for our lives recently has been hurry up and wait. So, I have to just keep reminding myself that God is working even when we can't see or can't tell. And also that God wastes nothing- waiting time is never wasted time. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”- Lamentations 3:24
The Lord is my portion. Get's me every time. We may not be able to see the path ahead of us or control circumstances, but that's ok, because God is enough. He's enough so I will wait. And knowing he is enough makes it possible for me to wait. Redundant? Yes, maybe. But that's truly the point. Be hopeful this Monday knowing that God is enough. And because He is enough, you can wait. And not only can you wait, but you can rest in the fact that your waiting isn't pointless waiting!
