So. I recently saw Julie and Julia and I must say I love it. It is such a great movie. 1. It makes me want to cook... which is a whole other story. 2. It makes me want to blog more, so here I am.

As soon as the movie was over, I ran upstairs, gathered all of the cookbooks in the house and begain to collect my favorite recipes and put them in a binder. I put the recipes in the clear page cover things, then organized them inside the binder. Soups, salads, desserts, pasta, and so on. It was exciting.
The next day I went over to a friends house and ate the third best soup I have ever eaten. The first being broccoli and cheese soup for ovious reasons. The second being Chips(Little Rock BBQ place... that serves everything not just BBQ) potato soup. Anyway, it was called Garbonza Bean soup. It is a spanish soup with garbanza beans, potatoes, spanish seasonings like Goyo Sazon, and garlic. Ah, it was heavenly. I got the recipe and made it the very next day. It is better the day after you make it. So after making it, I proceeded to put it in a crock pot so it could simmer and soak in all the deliciousness that it was. Ah.
I will at some point post the recipe.
New Years came and went. School starts today. I am taking chemistry.... this is very frightening. I have put off taking it for a while now.
I turn 20 on Sunday. The thing I am hoping for is Burberry Brit purfume... it is so yummy.

I was taking to a friend the other day. We were taking about opposition and God's placement in our lives.....she posed the question: Where ever is it that we are so hard pressed to get to? The place that makes days worth it?
My response to this ended up being me rambling poetically....
Its's when you lay in bed... worn down... bones tried and spirit broken ... laying there with your eyes closed, the heaviness that comes over your body. That heaviness reminds you that you are mortal and alive. Alive to live another day to fight again and to cry victory because it has been already won for us. It is in that heaviness that God reminds you to continue.... The morning comes and the echo of birds is heard.. The heaviness will come another day.... and the breath over your body reminds you to fight and be loved and saved.
Know this... if you are recieving opposition:
Rejoice in opposition.... the enemy, determined to crush you, engages you because you threaten his plan..... Rejoice, you have an effect on eternity.

It is an interesting question to pose yourself. Where is that place?
