2014 and an Avocado.

salut & hi!

So, it is a new year. 2014.

While there are so many things to say about this- I am just going to say a few words...

God has got every season planned & purposed for you and me. 

God is good and you are loved in every single one of these seasons, whether that is in a crazy storm or in warm sunshine. 

God is calling you to live and love for Jesus and others.

 God is saying "come with me, I will take you through this year, don't you worry child."

.... Ask yourself,

are you ready to wait patiently, 

persevere intentionally,

seek His purpose,

trust in His plan,

encourage & build up others,

enjoy and embrace times of busyness,

rest in the moments of quietness,

inspiringly create,

simply meditate,

be thankful in all,

be vulnerable & open,

be confident & bold,

nourish & indulge,

pursue & be pursued,

live in and live out faith, hope, and love...

?

And while you and I both reflect on just these few things...

Here is a recipe for my homemade avocado dip!

1 Avocado

2 Birds Eye Chilli's, chopped finely

2 Gloves of garlic, crushed

Juice of one lemon

1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil leaves

salt and pepper to taste

Simply combine all ingredients in a food processor (small hand processor works well and less mess to clean up!) until combined.

This is delicious with everything from wholegrain bread, crackers, in a salad dressing, with carrot sticks, as a spread on wraps and sandwiches, or even use as a avocado style pesto on some wholegrain pasta! 

Note: If you can't handle a lot of spice- go easy on the chilli!

Enjoy! Let us begin the new year energised and spiced up for what God has in store for us!
