Home cooking needs a Mother

well, i'm no match for my Mom - she can cook up anything to taste
good. even when she guides me, she cooks it up. now that i'm alone,
well, they're bland...

BUT tonight i just collected a whole bunch of things and put them
together to make a sauce - i added lemon juice to cull the firey
pepper.
Jean says it is good. I thought it was good until the 20th mouthful -
it needs something more, but what could i add. what makes flavours?
how does one cook?

this is something i'll ponder, but for now, i'll head off to bed!

Yesssssss

I finally DID it!

I just sent my May.June.July Ignite Newsletter!

the missing subject line

What does it feel like being all alone in a house for a day?
not bad - loss of time is the biggest thing though.

The answer does change if you take out pre-made food, and the good
feeling that they'll be back soon.

I dont know what to do with myself. I dont really feel like computers
- they waste time. It's beeping coold outside.
I could start looking for the letters that I lost - I dont look
forward to saying I didnt do my sponsor letter cus i lost em...

If I have time to type on a keyboard, I have time to search for the letters!
;oP

I'm free again

This last Tuesday I shared with the OTIG (Other Two Ignite Guys, Simon
went home ill) something so close to my inner being that it felt as
though I were slicing my nose like you'd slice a pencil to sharpen it.
The night before, I um'd and ar'd about whether or not to share this
meat. I had till 13h30 on Tuesday to change my devotion reading from
James 4. I did not change it.

It was scary when I thought it over while we were moving towards the
blue couches at the back of the hall. As I sat down on the couch and
started sharing my devotion, I took a DEEP breath when I noticed that
without sharing my inner most meaty meat with these guys, my devotion
would fall flat on its back. Those that know me, know that when I
speak about something in my life, I don't hold back information - I
let rip with everything that goes on.

On Monday evening I was prompted as I did my daily reading. I dont
often get a good feeling when I think of sharing a deep dark secret -
I did test that notion and found that it was part of the bigger
picture. What I didnt realise was that obeying God by sharing my meat
would open doors of accountability among the team (Ignite) and would
strengthen our relationships with each other as a group and
individually.

I feel so free now. It's such a wonderful feeling.

Have a great day!
