I look to You

This might be the only week out of the entire year that I will do absolutely no cooking.  Seriously.  I've totally enjoyed spending the last four days eating nothing but breakfast leftovers from my birthday weekend.  If you ever have a chance to go to Coffee Cup in St.Paul, do it.   They aren't shy about their portions and they have a pretty extensive menu to explore.   I have to admit that I did miss cooking a wee bit but I did not miss the dishes.  Oddly enough, my distaste of washing dishes is the primary difference between me and my fellow condo dwellers.   Many of them have shared with me that they like to cook because doing dishes is so relaxing to them.  I am waiting for an appropriate moment to invite them to wash mine.  Just kidding - I always get them done. . . it just usually takes me a couple of days.  

In other news, I was completely blessed by this song today.   It's so comforting to know that even when I feel like I have nothing left to give, Jesus is real, present and able to provide a way.  Hope is found in no one else.  Following Christ is certainly not easy but there is no greater safety or support then being held firmly in the hand of the Lord.  

John 10:27-29

New International Version (NIV)

²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
