Winter Weather and More

Monday was just a normal day. School and housework. A good thing - the gyms have opened back up with limited capacity! I was able to take an hour, work out and also use the tanning bed there. I have always enjoyed this for my personal health and am grateful it is again available!

For dinner, I made Easy Pork Posole. Now, I don't know what authentic pork posole is really - but I do know I enjoy this recipe and I think you will too. :) It is a crockpot recipe which is always a plus and it is just plain flavorful! Serve with corn tortillas or tortilla chips.

Then we had a little time just hanging out together watching old home videos and talking. Clean up the kitchen, make Eric's lunch for the morning, talk with the hubby and off to sleep.

Tuesday, man, it was hard to wake up today. Felt like I got a late start to the day but that's ok sometimes. Summer and I went to Winco and got the grocery shopping done. It turned out to be a beautiful, clear, sunny day. Which we really needed!

Made Slow-Cooker Layered Enchilada Dinner along with a salad for dinner. Again, always nice to use a crock pot recipe for dinner so it is done early.

Wednesday, was another normal day. Ok, there's just not much going on on a normal day. Ha! Basically school and home stuff. I made meatloaf for dinner along with baked potatoes and salad. Mmm! Meatloaf is one of my favorites and you have to hide any leftovers in order to get any. I use Joanna Gaines' recipe for meatloaf which I will share this week.

A lot of precipitation this week! Rainy Thursday until later in the day and it turned to freezing rain.

Leftover meatloaf for lunch!

Stuffed green peppers for dinner. I love these! Mmm!

Awana and Youth Group was cancelled Thursday due to freezing rain.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27
