Thai today...baby food...pics and videos...

Thai was so awesome today. I felt like I was in a bible study rather than Thai. We read, in Thai, the account of when Peter denied Christ 3 times. Peter was present when Jesus was transfigured! He saw Moses and Elijah and heard the voice of God!!! He was the one who declared his love for Jesus at every opportunity and lopped off a guards ear...ready to defend Jesus.

It seems as though Peter was so sure of his love for Jesus and he had yet to receive the revelation that Jesus was the son of God...maybe he knew it in mind but not in spirit. If he had, would he have lopped off that guys ear? Would he have denied Christ had he listened to the many times that Jesus told them that he would die?

On the mountain when Jesus was transfigured...Peter was like...I can build us tents and we can stay here forever! (not thinking about Jesus would be neglecting everyone else if he had stayed upon the mountain...not to mention his mission) Also when they were leaving the mountain Jesus told them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the son of man had risen from the dead!

He just seemed to be missing the point. I don't know if I would have been the same way or not...but we can learn from Peters early mistakes as well as his life after Jesus died...we can learn so much! He didn't seem to take Jesus for his word though he loved him dearly. Now...Peter was an incredible disciple and after he denied Jesus 3 times he repented severely and became the epitomy of what Jesus spoke over him...You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church.

But I feel like we can gleen so much from what we saw of Peter's life before that time. Do you love Jesus dearly...enough to bare his name...and fight for him but not enough to take him at his word...listen to what he teaches and take it in...mind, heart and soul. Because without the word of God hidden in your heart when times get rough...it will be as if a mountain has sat on your shoulders forbidding you to do anything other than deny Christ in different ways.

I want to encourage you to get into God's word...make the time...have the relationship...receive all he has for you and live life fully through Him.

On another note...I've been making baby food! 2 years ago when Jude was beginning to eat food I felt like there was no way I could make my own baby food. It just seemed too hard. So...now, money is tight and as long as a baby food jar costs over a dollar a piece...I will be making my own baby food. On top of the fact that they have a total of 3 flavors. Banana custard, Blueberry Muselini Dessert and Banana Pear.

I can't imagine eating Banana custard and Banana Pear over and over again...with dessert on occasion...can you? So...I went online...watched a few instructional videos and did some research borrowed a blender and I gave it a shot and it's EASY! Ahh...I could have saved us a lot of money back then. I spent about an hour in the kitchen and a total of about $1.24 to feed Jossalyn for almost 2 weeks!

2 ice trays of applesauce, carrots and pumpkin...
There would have been more pumpkin but...uhhh...John and I were
talking in the other room when we smelt this...
Finished applesauce, carrot and pumpkin servings...
