I want to learn. . .

I wonder if my husband ever sees random dollar signs every time I say I want to learn ____. Fill in the blank, I have said it. I told him that after I get my English degree in 6-8 years that I want to go to a culinary school to learn the secrets of the kitchen. I do love to cook. I have an idea about a cookbook that I would like to write. I want to have meal menus followed by recipes and pictures (I want to learn photography). Have you ever picked up a cookbook to find a yummy main course idea but you have no idea what would be a good side dish, or what kind of wine would suit it, or even dessert. I do. Although I am okay at sorting out what sounds good with what but it would help if I knew something. I think we all want to cook amazing meals for our families, and friends. Sometimes the hardest part is planning the meals. I love food, with school I seem to have traded my time in the kitchen for homework.

Anyways I also want to learn how to sew a pretty quilt, paint with oils, garden, help build a stone patio with matching walkways, canning our vegetables and homemade sauces. I am sure I could think of a few other things that I want to learn how to do if I tried. Right now I am working on adding prayer to our daily lives. I need to learn to be more organized with my time and space. I also need to learn to be a better housekeeper, right now I am cluttered, and mostly three days behind on any given thing that needs to be done. I want to learn to be present in my daily life, meaning worrying less about tomorrow. I want to know GOD in my daily life and for GOD to be present in my children's childhood.

I am a work in progress, I hope that I always want to be better, and that I continue to grow as a person.

Now for a garden update. Finally we have some tomatoes!

 God is Good.
