Homemade Cheese Ravioli

So a while ago I decided that I wanted to try to make homemade cheese ravioli. So the other day I went out and bought the supplies. Tonight for dinner, I made them. :)

Finished product

With garlic bread

The ravioli

Garlic Bread

Marinara sauce

Pesto-alfredo cream sauce

The yummy looking cheese filling

All of the yumminess :)

I have found in the week that I really enjoy cooking, and even though it can take me awhile, everything seems to come out well. Or, at least, my parents tell me it's good.

Struggle

So I am going to be honest. I have been struggling to be faithful in studying my bible. For awhile. I have been reading it. But in the loosest sense of that word as well. I skim the words to mark of that I read it for that day. (Google Images) In the coming year, I do not want to focus on reading so much as I want to learn how to study the bible. For real. I want to dig into God's word, grow closer to Him, and learn how to listen not just talk at Him. So as I work on being selfless in my prayer life (see my previous post), I am also going to work on studying. There is no way that I am going to continue to grow closer to God if I do not learn how to study His Word. I want to ask you to share any ways that you have that help you to study God's Word. Please leave comments below. Thanks for reading. In God, Emily

Fear and Respect for Guns and God

Yesterday was a big day for me. I got my first gun. While it was very exciting to be part of picking it out, when I went out to shoot it when we got home, I was just a bit terrified. I realized that I have a (healthy) fear and respect of and for guns. They are not the toys that children are allowed to play with. As I was thinking about the fear and respect I have for guns, I started wondering something, Should we have an even greater fear (awe) and respect for Creator God? I know this is something that I could do so much better in, living with a greater awe of God. So I started praying that God would help me to grow my fear (awe) and respect for Him. Because it should be much greater than that of the gun. Just a thought. Thanks for reading. In God, Emily

Wall Decorations

So I got some ideas from Pinterest and from a good friend's room this past year at college. I want my walls covered next year in encouraging quotes and pictures of my friends and family. While my friend's room was covered in pictures and magazine shots, I want mine to be encouraging and uplifting. So tonight I kind of went crazy with my markers and colored pencils. Here's part of what I have for my walls next year. (I already had some, but they are packed in a box downstairs with my school stuff.) Like I said, this is only part of the quotes I have for next year. I am planning on putting colored paper behind these to break up the white from the wall. Let me know if you have any quotes, sayings, or bible verses that I should use. Thanks for reading! In God, Emily
