Taste and See

The Lord is so good. In the Capernaum club talk tonight, Colleen gave a great talk. If we are going to bake something, like a cake for instance, the ingredients ( baking soda, flour, salt, sugar) are not good by themselves; instead they are bland, tasteless, bad, except for maybe sugar, it's good! Our lives, too, are big mixing bowls full of the mundane, hard times, trials, and wonderful things. Separately these chapters in our lives don't do much for us, but when we mix them all together, God creates a beautiful life for us, a beautiful cake! It's important sometimes to step back and look at the big picture. Tonight was a good reminder of that. 

This was a wonderful weekend, not as full of GRE studying as it needed to be, but nonetheless it was great. I did get some studying done, and I also got to hang out with lots of beautiful people. I got together with some people from City Year last night, went to Crazy Hair club at Capernaum, talked to so many great friends over the phone (you too, Mom!) and I even made muffins from scratch with my new friend. 

I got a job hanging out with a really cool eleven year old on Saturday mornings and this Sat. we made blueberry, pomegranate, white chocolate chip muffins from scratch. They turned out spectacularly! That may be another reason that verse really applys to me right now. I've been cooking up a lot of good food!
