When you're sick, food doesn't always taste right, which sucks. After 3 days of laying in bed with no energy, I have finally emerged victorious over the flu. Still coughing and have a sore throat, but energy and taste are back! So for dinner, I wanted something to celebrate the return of my taste buds. I decided to grill some marinated chicken breasts and serve crescent rolls and herb and butter rice. Yummy! For the marinade, I looked up some recipes, the. Threw together some things that I thought would go well together. Hopefully it will turn out nice.
Church was really good today. Since Seth and I have moved back to Beaver Dam, we have been going to his church, Beaver Dam Baptist. Unfortunately, Seth has to work most Sundays and doesn't get to go, so I go with is parents. Today's message was about loving our family of faith, or the church. Christ said the two greatest commands are to love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself. It is really hard to love someone as yourself sometimes, especially if that person has different political or moral values, or has been unkind to us in the past. But that is the kind of love we're called to. We are only free to love like this when we are fully engaged in an intimate relationship with God! He himself is love, and invites us into that love, which then allows us to give it to others. It's called Agape Love, and it knows no boundaries, unlike the "love" most of us have experienced in our earthly relationships. How awesome is our God to love us so deeply. Before we can really love one another, we have to really experience total intimacy with God. That is the journey I am on, and I suppose I'll always be on it while I'm here.
