New Beginnings


Faith 
This is a new beginning.  Recently I rededicated myself to Christ and got baptized. Thinking back to when I got baptized at such a young age, I realize now more than ever the true significance of what Jesus sacrificed.  Baptism is the outward expression of the inward miracle and my miracle is that I am saved and loved by my Lord and Savior.  I was dead and now I am alive with the Holy Spirit.  I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and I accept Him as my Savior.  I repent all my sins and I'm turning my life around.  I am putting my past behind me and I fully put my life and trust into Jesus' hands ready and willing to do His will whatever it made be.  
"One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism."
Ephesians 4:5
Special thanks to my friend Rayna Horton who has showed me such love and support from the moment I decided to come back home... You are truly a blessing.
I don't really remember anything Rayna was saying to me at this point...
Baptized by full immersion... 

Food
I recently threw a small engagement party for my friend Mayra in hopes of getting to know the other bridesmaids and decided to serve some Chicken Cacciatore.  I adopted this recipe from one of my favorite tv cooks Giada De Laurentiis.  Her style of cooking is so contagious to watch and I have to say falling asleep to the foodnetwork on numerous occasions has inspired me to be the cook I am today. This is her recipe for Chicken Cacciatore and its muy muy delicioso!!   
I've made this countless number of times and fiddled with the ingredients here and there but what I made with the leftovers is what is featured below.  


Toasted French bread with extra virgin olive oil, chicken cacciatore sauce, and a sunny side up egg.  Breakfast was good...

Furry Animals
The first post has to include the love of my life, my Rottweiler Bear.  Words can't describe the love I have for this kid and his loyalty and love for me reminds me of the childlike faith I strive for with my Abba, Father the Lord Jesus Christ.  Funny that I get inspiration from my dog yes, but for those who know my dog know how intelligent and loyal he is to me and I to him.  I have never found such obedience in any other breed and compared to my French Bulldog who challenges my patience everyday, Bear tends to remind me to be the type of person he knows and loves me to be.  With that being said, this portion of the blog will be used to help people with questions about their dog whether it be about vaccinations or surgeries.  I am in no means a veterinarian but I am working on getting my technicians license.  I have  however worked with animals all my life and for the things I do not know, I will surely seek advisement and answers from professionals such as my boss and other colleagues.

I try and raise him right...

"Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; clint to what is good.  Be devoted to one another in love.  Honor one another above yourselves."
Romans 12:9-10
