January

While it is completely clique... January has such a strong meaning for me.

A new start.

Fresh calendar.

Goals for the year.

This year is no different.  

2014 is going to be one great year, and I want to make sure I am documenting it.

I want to blog.

{Which is a big deal since I have not wanted to for quite some time...obvious by my lack of posts.}

So here is hoping... that I will find time.  Make time.  Use a few minutes of my time to write.  

2014 is going to be a year of big thing, and I am feeling...ready. 

homemade flour tortillas...

Flour Tortillas

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour (I used a gluten free flour mix!)
½ teaspoon of salt
¼ heaping teaspoon of baking powder
¼ cup of oil (I used coconut oil, but you can use canola or vegetable)
2/3 cup hot/boiling water

Steps:

1.    Put the dry ingredients into a food processor and mix well.

2.   While it is running, add the liquids slowly.

3.       After a minute or two, it will form into a ball.  Don’t mix too long!

4.       When you take it out, knead it together and form a ball.

5.       Place it in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth for 15 minutes.

6.       Split the ball into 8 smaller balls, and then let it sit from 15 minutes to an hour.

7.       Roll out each ball SUPER thin.

8.       Place in a medium/high dry skillet, and wait for it to barely brown.  The top will puff up quickly, so flip it over to quickly brown the other side.

9.       Enjoy!

These were super easy to make, and SO yummy! 

word of God speak

I sat in my car today after a 2 hour training {on top of a very busy and loooong day} and cried.

I drove home crying.

When I walked in the door, I dropped my bags and started crying.  

I headed back out to the gym to work out with my best friend in hopes it would make me feel better. 

Seems like free therapy for me.

Got back in the car to head home again, and the tears started flowing.  

Then this song came on, and I literally had to pull over and just...listen.

Word of God speak

Would you pour down like rain

Washing my eyes to see

Your majesty

To be still and know

That you're in this place

Please let me stay and rest

In your holiness

 Word of God speak

He's here. 

He loves me. 

He cares for me.

  

He knows my future better than I ever could imagine I do.

And I need to {rest} in that tonight, tomorrow, and every. single. day.   

decisions...

I pull up this blog every day.

Late in the evening, after everything has settled down, I pull up my blanket and open my computer.

I feel like the blog posts I read are written by close friends.  I love reading each story and feeling the emotions shared about everyday life, heart ache, pain, and love.

But something in my stops me from blogging about my life.

Not sure what, but something in me says stop.



So where does that leave me?

Do I start a new one?  Do I leave this behind?  Would something new and fresh be good?  Something different?

In so many ways right now, my life feels.... unsettled.  But at the same time, life feels so great.

Ahhhh decisions.
