What can make me feel this way...
My Gal....talking 'bout my gal Melo
Just realised how wonderful you really are to me, for like the millionth time.
And I'm not paying you for the recipe you will do so out of the goodness of your heart or I will threaten you with all sorts of horrendous things...
I have soo much to say about your ups and downs but mostly about your whole fasting dilemma. My dear, I don't believe doing something right for your spiritual life is spiritually dry and boring ad if you find that with fasting then just drop it coz its not of any benefit to you, God loves a cheerful givver and when you give him that sacrifice with a (looking forward to dinner) heart then it fails to have any significance. Your incence lacks the flavour it should. You loose the Abel touch as I call it. When its time to fast you'll know in your heart and you 'll have God's peace and joy in your heart even if your mind and body struggle..(disclaimer please not this is only my interpretation and not Gospel truth)
Personally I'm having a rediscovery time. You know how people say that when someone comes into your life adn really rubs you the wrong way....its sand paper?? Well I have some sandpaper in my life at the moment, her name is my intern Jackie. She really has been the test of my patience.its true when it says if you think you are standing be careful lest you fall well thats the situation. I was convinced I had become patient and through her God has shownn me great loopholes..
Since I last blogged I've gotten more into God's word which made me feel better and then fell out. i.e of the bible. God's gracious though I've got a really great piece of Literature Whats So Amazing About Grace by Max Lucado that book is really honest and true in soo many ways and critisises the christian walk where it need critism. Completely inspirational a recomended read.
I however have run out of what they call time and have to run away see you ASAP.
In the meantime
LET GOD TAKE CARE OF YOU

the recipe!
so you'll have to do most of this by taste i guess, i'm just putting figures for guidance but taste it coz i reallydon't know how much i put...and you can improvise for some of the stuff
sweet potato pie mix:
cinammon (1/2 tsp)
nutmeg (1/2)
ginger (1/2)
margarine (a stick/6 tbsp)
brown sugar (1/2 cup)...
1 tbsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup bacardi rum
2/3 cup raisins
1 sweet potato (cooked and mashed)..k the sweet potato in kenya is different..coz i use the yellow ones and they are great for pie. the grey one..oh well...try use pumpkin instead...or if you can get hold of the sweet squashmaybe that'd help. trythevegetable sectionin uchumi, sarit..need more sugar though
the rest of the stuff:
4 eggs
evaporated milk (1/4 cup)
12 tbsps flour
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
so basically boil your sweet potato and mash it...ilike to mash it with the margarine and sugar. then add the spices and vanilla. continue mixing till you get a fairly smooth mixture. next add the raisins and rum and leave themixture for a while (30mins - 1 hr).
next add the eggs and flour. you might need to add less flour depending on your consistency. mix in baking powder/soda and lastly the milk (amount of milk also depends on consistency...i.e. make sure it has that usual cake texture). and there you have it. bake for 1 hour or until a "skewer comes out clean." :)
thanks girl. you know it's funny the way you said it's not like an Abel like offering because i had a dream the other night. i was carrying several bags of fruit, which i thought were delicious. so i decided to give some as an offering to God. and i picked one from each bag and put them on a chopping board and cut them slightly (quarter-like style). it didn't look all that after cutting it. anyway, i was praying no one would eatthe fruit because it was an offering right...anyway, then some guy who leads praise and worships at one of the retreats i've attended picked up the chopping board with my fruit and threw it in the bin. in the morning, i was like wow, i must be giving some kind of trash offering to God. first i was like it must be the way i'm living. my life is some kinda trash offering. anyway, i choose to believe that maybe the whole fast thing was more like a Cain offering.
rediscovery is always good and painful. you never know what's under there till the person u just don't like steps in. funny. i think being in college, i've never been "rubbed the wrong way." it's like everyone is so into their books there's no time to really really get into some argument. or we just really really get along. or....we just play it safe. i dunno. it's rather strange. seems i had more issues in high school. or maybe we're more mature.
u know what i figure..we really need people. fine we need God and all but in this whole thing when ur not constantly mtg up w/ friends who build you up the way God wants you to be built up, it's so much harder. that's whyit's a BODY. goodness my comment is so long...read as much you can. anyway, back to what i was saying...i always remember ms tocco's analogy of pple in the body. like 3 friends are walking and one of the, falls behind. you just don't keep on walking, you go pick the person who's fallen up. yep we do need those two other pple. i'llpost the lyrics to hezekiah walker's song...
well that's enough for today. have a beautiful day.;)
