At least it was the only "exciting" part to my supper. I was making breaded pork chops and normally I'm girl who likes to follow recipes, but when I pulled up the recipe on my computer, it called for ingredients that I didn't have (because I'm in Indiana and the kitchen here is sparsely occupied by anything other than cereal, bread, butter, milk, and lunchmeat.
So tonight I was faced with the challenge of creating something of my own. I had never done that before. I love watching the Food Network and watching how Rachel Ray can throw something in a pan and make it do whatever she wants and have it turn out spectacular. But I don't know how to do that. Especially not something as big as pork chops. Maybe a smoothie or something, but only because I know what fruits taste like and what they taste like together. But at least I could use some of the little tidbits and had picked up from watching the Food Network.
Thankfully my pork chops turned out amazing! My sister and my dad ate them with me and they wouldn't stop groaning. (I'm hoping they were groaning because they were so good and not because the food was turning funky in their stomachs...that would have been nasty.)
All day I have had a song stuck in my head. Normally when that happens it's a very annoying song. Usually something like "It's a Small World After All" or any other number of annoying songs. But today I had "Light Up the Sky" by The Afters.
I love that song. My favorite part, the part that gets me every time is the chorus when they sing:
You light, light, light up the sky,
You light up the sky to show me You are with me
And I, I, I can't deny,
No I can't deny that You are right here with me
Have you ever thought about that? Every morning when God makes the sun rise and light up the day, He is showing us that He is there and He is with us and He won't ever leave us. Even during those times in life when you feel as if God has turned away from you or as if God has left you just realize that the only reason that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night is because God makes it do that. If there was no God, well, there would be no you or me. I usually forget to thank God about the little things like that, but after thinking about all of this I know that I'm going to be thanking Him for every little thing He has done for me. Thank You God!
