Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. ~Matthew 7:13-14
to Love God
to Obey His Law
to have Faith in Him through Jesus Christ
“For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do–to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him— then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves.” ~Deuteronomy 11:22-23
“For the LORD’S portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance.” ~Deuteronomy 32:9
For the Law was given through Moses, but grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. ~John1:17
Man has combined flour and water for millenia to produce various types of bread, which differ according to geographic location. I thought it would be interesting to go around the world to explore this simple food. Bon Appetit!

BLESSED is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and in His Law he meditates day and night. ~Psalms 1:1-2

‘Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Chosen One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth
He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands shall wait for His law.’
Thus says God the LORD,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
Who gives breath to the people on it.
And spirit to those who walk on it:
‘I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the Gentiles,
To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
I am the LORD, that is MY name;
And My glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to graven images.
Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.’
~Isaiah 42:1-9
~Praise be to you, Father Abba Almighty, Everlasting LORD~<3
The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the LORD loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage….~Deuteronomy 7:7-8

The LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD…Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.” ~Deuteronomy 8:2-3,6
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills…a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing….~Deuteronomy 8:7,9
I am a woman who loves the Lord, and in quietness and rest is my solitude. I am dedicated to discerning the Word of God and His Truth, and glorifying Him by my life and doctrine. It is my mission in life to serve Him daily and to do His complete and total will.
I have been a mom since I was 24 and a midwife since I was 26, and I feel passionately about both. My work as a nurse is now the primary way I serve God. I have self-published two books, both of which are related directly to the Bible and are my labor of love for my Lord, and the way I learn best about Him.
I am an intuitive thinker with a slightly autistic brain who likes to spend my time in meditation, prayer, and reading the Bible-when I am not knitting or crocheting, friending, glamping, or thinking…
I am married to God, live a solitary life, and am embracing my life as His faithful servant~
Thanks for visiting!
I just found this and it really speaks to me:
He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to flight. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed for them. You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth. You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills; they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches. From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart. The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting. You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about. The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens. Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening. O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. (Psalms 104:5-24)
