Cookin' up time for Jesus

I have recently discovered that I have a peculiar, somewhat procrastination habit, to cook instead of doing homework or studying.

So far this week, I have made Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Bread, Vegetarian Pasta, Spinach Pizza Bagels, 2 batches of brownies, and Cookies.

Oh my goodness!

Fortunately, my fellow starving college student friends have been the ones consuming the food!  Though, one thing I tend to do is try to make the food as healthy as I can.

The picture that's up is Banana Peanut Butter Bread where I used flour, sugar, 2 banana's, vegetable oil, and lots of peanut butter.  I try to avoid using milk and eggs in the food I make, in case someone is lactose intolerant or for my vegan suite mate to try eating.

But what is the point of all this, besides the fact that I can cook well- it's that I realized God doesn't substitute anything in our lives.  I realized lately, from reading Crazy Love (an amazing book thus far), is that I try to substitute my love and praising of God with deeds.

I stick to my habit of never going out of my way to help others, to try to avoid embarrassment, and to be a disciple.  I'm not saying that I want to become one of "those" Christians.  The one's that try to force religion, trying to lead a horse to drink Holy Water that its not thirsty for.

So, what should I do?

I figure, make the Holy Water look more appetizing to the horses we gather.  Show them that the Holy Water is good for their thirst of water.

John 4: 13-14:

" Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,

  but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. 

Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Jesus offered His life to provide a Source of an UNLIMITED SUPPLY of Water!  I am learning that I need to start drinking this Holy Water more by reading my Bible more, praying for more than five minutes before I go to bed, and spending more time with my Heavenly Father, Creator, Abba.

If I can make time to cook all these delicious foods, imagine how delicious my relationship with God can become!  

I cannot cook my way up to Heaven, I cannot lead others to God by hiding around in the kitchen.  

Have a blessed Day
