Recipes!

Hey everyone!  Well actually I'm talking to myself right now because noone else is following my blog...YET!  Have to have some optimism there.  I'm just "test driving" this right now before I go out and tell everyone about my blog.  In anycase, I'm hoping that with all my rants and raves and inserts (soon) from my book, along with some FREE recipes that I will get some followers.  But in the mean time I guess this is all for me.

In the upcoming blogs, I wanted to share with you all some of the types of foods that we have here on the island.  I will include pictures of the "featured food" along with some pictures of the ingredients, so you know what to get, because if you're anything like me, I NEED PICTURES.  Like seriously, if you tell me salt, I'm going to ask what kind of salt?  Kosher, regular Molten.  Work with me here.  So while I try to figure out how to organize this, anyone reading this is more than welcomed to give me some feedback.

My muh-ley and I wanted to put a blog up dedicated to the island food, whether it be Chamorro, Filipino, or American.  Doesn't matter...It's food on the island, but it's in the air right now.  We just thought that food is meant to be eaten and shared so why not share it, no?  I don't so much like buying cookbooks cause I think that it's crazy that I have to pay for a whole book of recipes just for ONE that I want.  So here is the solution, make a blog and have everyone SHARE!

Being a better me.

Praise the Lord.

Lord please give me the knowledge I need to accept the things that I cannot.  Lord please give me the knowledge to change the things I can and to do it with due diligence.  Lord please help me to understand the different perspectives and not force mine on others.  I want to be a better me, even if I think that there is nothing that needs to be changed.  Even though others like me for who I am, I need to know who that is.  I want to have my identity, but what is that right now? 

Thank you for giving me the insight to know that I can better myself and those around me.  Thank you for giving me the strength to understand that it can be attainable.  Thank you for giving me a life that is worth living. Amen.

Praise the Lord.

Give Praise.

Give Praise to the Lord for all you have or don't have.

Tonight's study was about giving praise to the Lord.  We don't give Him enough praise and it's sad.  I know that I'm guilty of only praising Him when things are on the up and up but what about when things aren't.  I know it's hard but Pastor Tom gave an example of a man who was praising the Lord after a tornado totally shattered his house.  He praised the Lord for keeping his family safe and for the people who were found and are safe.

It was a nice sermon and I just wanted to share that with you all because I think we all should be reminded to be grateful of the things that we have. 

Praise the Lord!
