"7" Food Week, Day 5

It has definitely been a challenging week trying to only eat these seven foods!  The first two days went great as far as staying with the seven chosen foods.  But then Tim's sisters came to town to start sorting through Dorothy and Ivan's belongings and make important decisions about who should get what and what we could try and sell.  The biggest challenge has been staying on task with "7" and eating in a restaurant at least once a day.

Sunday:  We ate at Milagros a fresh Mexican local restaurant.  We chose Chicken Taco Soup ( had a few forbidden veges), salad of greens, chicken, guacamole (won't try and figure out what else but avocados was in it) and flour tortilla (not whole grain).

Monday:  Lunch at Oak Tree with the family.  This was a hard one!  Settled on Chicken Mediterranean Salad (a forbidden olives and Feta Cheese and who knows what was in the vinaigrette) and sweet potato fries.  We had Bekki for dinner and I made Winter Squash Soup with a side of greens.

Tuesday:  Tim's aunt wants to take us out to Chinese food.  Oh my, what will we do.  Chicken something for sure!

Love this verse from Jeff Manion's website: A Holy Experience: http://www.aholyexperience.com/2014/01/how-to-enjoy-the-weekend/

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth,
which is so uncertain,
but to put their hope in God,
who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” (I Timothy 6:17)

I am here on this earth, not to place my hope and security in wealth and riches, but in God who really wants us to enjoy Him and this beautiful world of people , experiences and nature.

Thanks for drawing me to you this week, Lord!  Not only through "7" but through my daily reading in "The Voice" and your sweet presence.
