Food

Giving thanks for food

I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness; 
   I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7:17

I love that Bible verse! Yesterday I was reading my church’s weekly newsletter and my preacher wrote about how we should give thanks every single day instead of just 1 day a year (Thanksgiving). As I was reading the newsletter, I was sitting in my cozy kitchen surrounded by my family, enjoying a warm bowl of soup. So, I decided to make this post a foodie post cause I’m pretty thankful for all the meals/food/drinks I get to enjoy on a daily basis! So … without further ado: Split pea soup in a duck bowl? Cool cool. My mama’s homemade meatballs!Luna bar while heading to classCinnamon apple muffin with a granola toppingLentil soupBurnt eggplant, spinach, and snap peasScrambled eggsSliced red pepperHot chocolateGingerbread spice tea (I have to add tons of sugar to this because the flavor is so strong! I really want to find the Sugar Cookie flavor & Candy Cane Lane but I can’t seem to find them in stores.)Chicken stir fry

I don’t often realize it, but food is a big part of each day because you need to eat at least 3 meals a day. I really take for granted the fact that I have access to fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, an oven, refrigerator, clean water, etc. I just wanted to post this to remind myself how blessed I really am. God is good 🙂

[I’m considering doing a little mini series of posts about things I am thankful for.. up next? Probably family!]

Do you ever take clean water/fresh food for granted? 

What do you think about a “thankful series” of posts?

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household. Ephesians 2:19

Hey there! School has been keeping my quite busy. On Monday and Wednesdays I am on campus from 11AM-5PM. Ick. I took this picture on Monday and i’m not sure how I managed to look so happy when I had many hours of lectures ahead of me…

Someone commented recently and asked if all of the pictures of my hair are natural. Yes, they are. Those are my natural, CRAZY, curls! I did absolutely nothing to my hair before I took this picture.

I took this picture on campus… it was a nice day and no one was walking by so I was a creeper 🙂
