Living in a higher realm.

I was on my way to bed last night when my sister pulled me aside and said she wanted to talk to me. Basically she just wanted to check on me and see how I'm doing with life. We ended up having a very good talk. We both pored out what we have been thinking and feeling lately and it just lifted something off me. We both felt 100% better afterwards. Something she brought up was how she felt like she has been living in the natural realm always worrying about money and life. She said she felt like she had lost her joy in life. She said that whenever she feels like that, she knows that she has left God. Somewhere, in something she did, she missed Him. Right when she said that something clicked, that was exactly what I've been feeling; like somewhere I had missed God. I have been worrying about my life and my so called lack of money and stuff. God says that He doesn't want us to worry about tomorrow for we do not even know if there will be a tomorrow. If we busy ourselves with giving to others and making sure they have what they need, somewhere, someone will take care of you. So why do we need to worry about self? If we are then we are missing God.
I had another moment this morning on my way to the Farmers Market. I usually leave around 5:50am and go to Starbucks, get a drink, then head to work. So this morning I did what I normally do not really thinking anything about it. When I was almost there I had to stop for a red light. I reached down and took a sip of my wonderful drink that I needed to keep me awake today. As I was drinking I saw an older looking man crossing the road in front of me. He glanced at me then looked away. I stopped drinking and looked at him. He looked worn, his clothes were old, he looked homeless. And here I was, having a wonderful time, drinking coffee and singing along with the radio...something was wrong. It totally convicted me. I didn't NEED coffee. In fact I don't really NEED anything. If I love God, draw near to Him, and obey Him, then I am lacking in nothing. I just thought it was a really neat experience. I have everything I need.

Amazingly fresh salsa!

Ok, so my sister came up with this salsa recipe and gave it to me. I made it and, of course, took pictures. :) I emailed the pictures to my sister so she could blog about her recipe. I told her she had to mention the fact that  I made the salsa in the pictures. So she put a little 'side note' at the very bottom of her post... :( I am holding up on my end of the deal by blogging about the salsa and putting a link to her blog here... http://cooksinglive.wordpress.com/ ... I really hope someone who reads this, if anyone does anymore, will make this salsa. It is truly the best thing u will put in your mouth!!! No kidding! Have fun making it! :)
