You are outgoing and generous. You love to share you life with other people.
You are carefree and light-hearted. You try to always make the best of things.
While you enjoy being with other people, you also value your alone time.
You like to reflect, think, and pick things apart. You like to study everything carefully.
The good part is that is is finally cool enough for chili and other goodies!
Bible in a Year : Isaiah 3233; Colossians 1
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
My father-in-law turned seventy-eight recently, and during our family gathering to honor him, someone asked him, Whats the most important thing youve learned in your life so far? His answer? Hang in there.
Hang in there. It might be tempting to dismiss those words as simplistic. But my father-in-law wasnt promoting blind optimism or positive thinking. Hes endured tough things in his nearly eight decades. His determination to press on wasnt grounded in some vague hope that things might get better, but in Christs work in his life.
Hanging in therethe Bible calls it perseveranceisnt possible through mere willpower. We persevere because God promised, over and over, that Hes with us, that Hell give us strength, and that Hell accomplish His purposes in our lives. Thats the message He spoke to the Israelites through Isaiah: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
What does it take to hang in there? According to Isaiah, the foundation for hope is Gods character. Knowing Gods goodness allows us to release our grip on fear so we can cling to the Father and His promise that He will provide what we need each day: strength, help, and Gods comforting, empowering, and upholding presence.
How have you experienced Gods provision for you in moments of fear? How can the support of other believers help you to hang on?
Father, Your love gives us everything we need to hang in there. Help us to remember Your promise of strength and to rely upon it each day.
You are energetic and a real go getter. You can even be aggressive at times.
You love taking risks and taking the rewards. You are a true daredevil.
You can be a bit greedy in life, and you go after what you want.
You are courageous and edgy. You will do what others are afraid of.
Hi!
You are detail oriented, hard working, and a bit of a perfectionist. You believe that it's very important to get the little things right in life. You are always in search of balance. You think living a good life involves lots of moderation. While you are conscientious, you are also fun and light-hearted. You don't take yourself too seriously.
Nachos, yum! I would load mine down with jalapenos (and live to regret it).
Chips and salsa.
Thank-you!
Howdy, PRO! That sounds good to me! You ARE hardworking, for sure!
We Are Nachos!
Thanks! That was fun!
You are braver than I am. I can’t eat those hot things. If I do, I suffer for the rest of the meal...my tongue and throat. LOL!
Nachos are always a favorite! Especially when they have everything on them!
Gotta have ‘em before any Mexican meal!
Well I guess.
For our WW2 B17 pilots there's this:
LOL! Very cute! And enchiladas are soooo yummy!
Works for me! LOL!
