Okay so Candace and I are horrible about going through a drive-thru on our way home from work. And really after taking care of children all day, who really wants to come home and fix dinner? Besides eating out getting really old really fast, the food is terrible for you, so we have been trying to cook more at home. The one thing that has been a life-saver is the crock pot - it's not just for Rotel or your grandmother. Last week, we put beef tips, potatoes, onions, bell pepper, and 1/2 cup Dale's Steak seasoning in it and had a feast when we came home from work! Tonight I put 6 chicken tenders, 1/2 a bell pepper, 3 tbsp butter, 1 part chicken stock, 1 part water, a dash of salt, a dash of Tony Chachere's and poultry seasoning, and we added some mashed potatoes and called it dinner! It was amazing, and our house smelled like yummy chicken goodness when we came home tonight! As the weather gets colder, I can't wait to do more soups and stuff in the crock pot! It makes coming home and passing the drive-thru so much easier!
So I have discovered and fallen in love with Pinterest! Finally a place to keep up with the all of the ideas that are floating around in my head! Candace and I are looking to move back to Laurel, and the idea of decorating a cute little apartment makes me so excited. The idea of moving again does not make me so excited, but it's time and we need to move! So I created a board with ideas that I would love to do in the Apartment, and I will link it so you can see! Check it out! I have a few other boards on there as well, but I have not dedicated as much attention to them as of right now! Below is a cute little kitchen that makes use of typically wasted space!
Lately I don't know exactly what it is but I have been so very distracted by life and everything in it that I have neglected my personal Bible study time - I like to call it an un-quiet time. I have missed my un-quiet time and I can definitely tell when I have missed it! My entire attitude changes, my world is upside down, and it sucks. I am trying desperately to get back into the Word - Truth is the only thing that can change me! I am reminded of the importance of renewing our minds, and it is so very important and vital to living this life for God. It may so very cliche but I promise this is truth!

Therefore, I urge your brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what the will of God is - which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:1-2
Oh, mah goodness...I actually JUST re-pinned a thing about crockpots a couple of minutes before I read this. I so want to use my crockpot more...because it's so darn easy! Anyway, check it out on my pinterest...this woman vowed to use her crockpot every day for a whole year...so it looks like there are basically 365 recipes on there. I'm anxious to try some. On another note, isn't it just amazing how the Lord just waits patiently for us to come back to him...so unlike us. What grace. Loved this post!
