the essence

Can you believe it's December already? Why does the time go by so much faster the older you get? In a way it's nice, but in another way it's sad. It kind of reminds me of Ecclesiates where it talks about everything being meaningless (that can be a rather depressing book-but it sure puts things in perspective). I know I tend to get wrapped up in every day things, and little things like cooking the perfect meal, decorating, having nice clothes, etc. Ecclesiates just kind of shows that in the end that's not what's gong to matter anyway. But it really is hard to remember that at times.


Really, life is short & before we know it we'll be at the end of ours. But I know I tend to take advantage of the more temporary things instead of taking advantage of my time to grow closer to God.

So, this past weekend I ate way too much sugar & I could really feel it. So yesterday was my first day this week of no sugar at all. I've done this so many times, so I know I probably won't last long. But I just kind of want to go without for awhile. It makes me feel gross, puffs my stomach, & makes me sick (literally).

But it sure tastes good. :)

Now I have to go check on my quiche. I'm making these little mini spinach & cheese quiches. I hope they're good!
