So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Because of the tender mercy of our God... the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.
Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light... He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness.
This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
I'm just a single divorced woman who has surrounded herself with animals, and enjoys the little things in life. Cooking, reading, movies and TV, outdoor adventures-- these are the little things that make up my own little Eden. This is where you can catch a glimpse into my Eden, where I find solace and peace from life's trials and tidalwaves, and the things that I love. Nothing but the good stuff (most of the time)!
Welcome to my Eden!
NOTE: I quit eating meat in April 2010, but my blog still has meat recipes I made before then. Now I'm a pescatarian: I only eat vegetarian, and fish and seafood.
UPDATE 7/19/15: I recently began eating meat again, but only meat purchased from a couple of well researched sources who pasture raise their animals and take care with the slaughtering of them, so that the animals are humanely raised and killed. One of these sources is US Wellness Meats. (However I'm basically a flexitarian. I rarely eat meat, but have added it back on occasion.)

A divorced woman living in South Florida, I love animals, music, nature and entertainment. I am at times serious and thoughtful (more often than not), and at other times a goof ball. I am trying to find my path-- a path that I hope to follow with light footsteps.
