I did not intend to take a break from blogging. Teaching students in 2020 (with twice as much work) has drained my energy. My oven recently went out, making it tougher to throw together easy meals. It has been hard to balance everything I need to do. I would be lying if I pretended my eating was fine.

Matthew 6:33 is, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015

I need to seek the Lord first. He is my only path to peace. My mind turns pessimistic when focus on negatives. Once I tire of gloom, I cry for God. With Jesus, I find the strength to walk through trouble. He guides me to eat healthier. I will seek God’s Kingdom instead of food.
