The First Post...

And so it begins, my first post. What shall I say? That is the question. But, alas, I have an answer! I know, you are all shocked by that. I like to think I have an answer for everything! But mostly, the answers that I do have come directly from God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He gives me the joy, peace and strength that keeps me going. He is the way, the truth and the life. I get up in the morning and say "I am a strong, beautiful, healthy woman and I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." This is my reminder that God is in control and that I follow His lead. Not mine, not the world's, but His. And He alone keeps me strong and healthy and has created me to be beautiful. 

So I started discussing my life with God and where I should go from here. I work in travel and love to travel, but moreover, God has blessed me with a plethora of talents, including sewing, crocheting, singing, doing hair (I am a former hairdresser) and the most requested, cooking! I create new recipes and recreate old ones. It has been suggested that I open a restaurant. OK, that sounds glamorous but I am not sure I currently have the wherewithal to do this. So, I turned to the Father and asked His thoughts.  I heard "blog". Ah, I can do this. I heard the words joy, cooking, travel and share. So, to begin the sharing, I thought I would post some of the scriptures that I live by. 

This one says it all!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

My all time favorites, both from Philippians 4: 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

The one I want to follow; The Great Commission:

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20

And the one that keeps me joyful:

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:11-12

So with that, I will close for now. Stay tuned for the next post that will offer some tasty food for thought, aka, my next tasty creation.
