Anyway, today is February 1st which means it is time for verse 3 in Siestaville...
2 Corinthians 5:15
"And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised."
The other day I was contemplating what my next verse to memorize would be. And then we had small groups the other night. A great group of young ladies and women were discussing what it means to be missional. We were reading and discussing a passage from 2 Corinthians 5, and then... one of the wise girls said that verse 15 looked like a good verse for us to daily focus on and live by. It caught me off guard, but I was so excited and thankful for that insight. I then encouraged each of us to focus on this verse each day this week and apply what we've learned/discussed from the other night.
Something to catch you up on... our cooking adventure...
cooking up new recipes, of course we make a few adaptations along the way...
Last week, we made oven-fried fish and mac & cheese 101. The fish was delicious! The mac & cheese was good, but we should have edited an overlooked ingredient. The recipe called for a little nutmeg. Ok, mix it in; it'll be fine. Well, a little nutmeg goes a long way. Needless to say, that pan of mac & cheese was a waste because we did to eat our first helping. And my man loves mac & cheese.
Well, this week's new dish was much welcomed, to say the least... chicken and dumplins! First of all, I love chicken and dumplins. It turned out delicious. Unfortunately we started off with a rather different/weird recipe. So in the middle we had to do some calling around and grocery shopping but the end result was worth it! :)
I hope February brings some new adventures your way... just make sure you take time to rest along the way. (Don't worry, I'm speaking to me as well... probably even more than to you...)
