Flyleaf song! AGAIN

I love the way that your heart breaks
with every injustice and deadly fate
Praying it all be new
and living like it all depends on you

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again

I love that you’re never satisfied
with face value wisdom and happy lies
you take what they say and go back and cry
you’re so close to me that you nearly died

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again

they don’t have to understand you
be still
wait and know I understand you
be still
be still

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
The floodgates are breaking
and pouring out

Here you are down on your knees
trying to find air to breathe
right where I want you to be again
i love you please see and believe again

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Right where I want you to be again
See and believe!

cooking with Leah

Mark has been sick for the last week on and off with the start to the winter season flu. But now I am left to cook, scary right, I know. So currently trying to take on a simple soup recipe, seems to be going ok, however I must go wake Mark every 10 minutes right when he has drifted off, if I am doing it right.

This is our soup great for winter and colds!

You need:

Sliced thin Potatoes (3 to 4) double (wash after cutting too)

Carrots sliced (2 small or 1 large)

Cerelery sliced (2 sticks)

1/4 cup chopped Onion

sliced Mushrooms (3 to 4)

one piece of Garlic crushed or finely chopped

Veg or chicken broth one container

1 to 2 cups of water or more broth

2 or more cups of whole wheat noodles

pepper, oregano, basil, italian seasoning, cumin

Sliced thin Potatoes (3 to 4) double (wash after cutting too) doesn't need to be peeled....

Carrots sliced (2 small or 1 large) can't find peeler....

Cerelery sliced (2 sticks) glad this didn't need a peeler...

1/4 cup chopped Onion struggle with figuring out if you cut it right

sliced Mushrooms (3 to 4) only had 2 so chopped up in little pieces make it seem like more

Saute this up in order. Best if you start with potatoes, then cut next item add to the pot, then bug your sick husband if you are doing this right, so on and so forth. Stir occasionally. Once that has cooked a bit, and browned a little then add:

one piece of Garlic crushed (start yelling because you can't find the garlic press, only to be right in your face) or finely chopped

Veg or chicken broth one container however that much is, I know I am a great help

add 1 to 2 cups of water; whatever looks good

Start adding all the spices you can find since your out of everything

pepper, oregano, basil, italian seasoning, cumin (but we are out just pretend)

Bring to a boil and stir it up!

In second pot boil water and partly cook 2 or more cups of whole wheat noodles

once they look partly done (if your me don't test them or look at them just as long as they arent hard its all good) add to the rest and boil up, start blogging about it in hopes in boils over. Check to see if noodles are done, the remember how bad you burned your tongue on left overs earlier and can't taste. When noodles are partly done add them to a somewhat boiled down soup, let cook until done.

-I hope this brings a smile to your face

why wiaks

My husband and I have been talking about blogging, I love reading other peoples and how encouraging they can be or funny or informational.

So heres the start....

why the wiak (last name janoWIAK) but pronounced jan o wick. Wick- to be lit on fire for Christ to burn for Him.

We have been married for 90 days today! Now that everything has settled down, post wedding has left me lots of time to ask Jesus for dreams, for passion and for boldness.

My new journey I hope to share with you is one of trust. Yesterday I was thinking how easy my life has been simply by living in America (not that people don't suffer or are poor), but the fact in trusting Jesus for things, with my day to day life has huge gaps filled in by money, accessibility to meds, clean water, food and education. Why have I been thinking these things, well I am glad you asked. I have been falling in love perhaps with the poor, the destitute and those who Jesus called blessed in the beatitudes.

Shane Claiborne wrote:

Its a beautiful thing when folks in poverty are longer a missions project but become genuine friends and family with whom we laugh, cry, dream, and struggle. One of the verses I have grown to love is the one where Jesus is preparing to leave the disciples and says "I no longer call you servants...Instead, I have called you friends" (John 15:15). Servanthood is a fine place to begin, but gradually we move toward mutual love, genuine relationships. Someday, perhaps we can even say those words that Ruth said to Naomi after years of partnership: "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried" (Ruth 1:16-17)

And that's when things get messy. When people begin moving beyond charity and towards justice and solidarity with the poor and oppressed, as Jesus did, they get in trouble. Once we are actually friends with folks in struggle, we start to ask why people are poor, which is never as popular as giving to charity. One of my friends has a shirt marked with the words of late Catholic bishop Dom Helder Camara: "When I feed the hungry, they called me a saint. When I asked why people are hungry, they called me a communist." Charity wins awards and applause, but joining the poor gets you killed. People do not get crucified for charity. People are crucified for living out a love that disrupts the social order, that calls forth a new world. People are not crucified for helping the poor people. People are crucified for joining them.

Food for thought

Jesus my prayer is for new season, season of LOVE! to love and give sacrificially of myself to others. Let me give away all that you have given to me...thats why I have soo many blessings is to give away for your glory!
