Here I am, send me.

Im sure that everyone knows about The Nutty Bavarian. They have little nut stands in every mall pretty much and they always annoy you. They even have them in Brazil. I know because I took a picture. Well their stuff is really good. Shady...yes but good nonetheless. Well my love of recipes has rubbed off on Josh. He found a recipe. We made it last night. It. Was. AMAZING. We did pecans. We had to control ourselves and not eat them all so we could save some fro our trip to Orlando this week. I was a little skeptical about the recipe, especially when we were making it. It turned out great and I think we just found a new favorite thing. For now anyway.

Today's sermon at church was so good. Pastor Chris talked about Defining moments and how they can shape us in either a positive or negative way. They can either make us run from God or run TO God. He used Isaiah 6:1. He talked about how we have to ask God to show us the areas in our lives that are not of him (Jeremiah 17:9-10, Psalm 139:32-24). When we ask he will show us but we will see that gap between us and Christ. We then have to ask Him to cleanse us of those things (1 John 1:8-9). But those 2 things are for a purpose. We need him to show us and cleanse us so that he can SEND us (1 Peter 2:9-10). We are created for a purpose and that is to know Christ and make Him known. This does not necessarily have to be going to other countries. You can DO right here where God has placed you in this moment. Don't let the defining moments push you away from Christ. Run to Him in those times of troubles and tragedies. Remember He is FOR you. Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us?
