You will show me the path of life...

Psalm 16:11

You will show me the path of life; In your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

This verse keeps coming to me the past few days.....so many of us who love the Lord with all our heart feel joy and peace with where we are at right now spiritually speaking- but still there is something that is tugging on our hearts, a longing for a fullness we have not yet experienced that we desire. Then as I read this verse 'in your presence is fullness of joy' I see the key- it's in HIS PRESENCE. We can go about our day to day feeling satisfied (if all runs smoothly- nap times, meal times, behavior etc.:=) but still feel a lacking- It's His presence.

How do we abide in it? how do we set our heart on Him as we go through our day to day- are we aware of His presence with us- are we communicating with Him the small things like "Jesus- I need help right now- I feel so overwhelmed."

This is where I desire to live....Father show me the path of Life....show us all how to abide in your presence.

Green pea,tomato,red onion & feta salad with mint sauce

After having some leftover teriyaki chicken I wanted something to have with it- hmmm- didn't want lettece but wanted fresh. So I created this pea salad.....

1 1/2 C steamed peas (steamed in microwave) then leave at room temp

1/2 tomato chopped

2 Tbs diced red onion

2-3 Tbs greek feta cheese

serve with store bought mint sauce or you can get mint jelly- then a little olive oil and a dash of salt.

garnish with fresh mint leaves if you have- I do- but couldn't be bothered walking out my front door....

ENJOY

"Are you sure you didn't add anything to the pot...?"

Tonight we had our staff potluck BBQ at old airport beach. It was one of the best ones I think I have been to- true 'authentic community' :) and the food was authentic too!

My hubby grilled up a storm! I made a big pot of white rice- and tried to change it up a bit to make a sweet rice.

For 4 Cups of rice (brown or white)

1 heaping Tbs coconut oil

1 tsp of nutmeg (of course:)

2 tsp cinnamon

2 Tbs honey

next time I will do it in half water half coconut milk I think.

So before we leave the house Ryan tried it- wasn't really his kinda thing- of course I'm like 'oh no' I hope everyone else likes it.

They did- even got some requests for how it was made....but we get home- "Honey (me talking) everyone loved the rice!" ...(Ryan)"Didn't you add something to the pot before we left the house?" (me) "no I didn't" (Ryan) "are you sure?" (me) "yes, I'm sure" (Ryan) "Are you sure you didn't add anything to the pot!?" (me) "I DID'T ADD ANYTHING TO THE POT"

I think when your pregnant things really get to your nerves.....

"I'm sure I didn't add anything to the pot".......well I think I am :)

Goodnight :)
