The Rise of Obedience

Salvation through Jesus brings us eternal life but the working out of that new life is practical and daily. It is when we obey God and do what He says in those moments of clarity that more of us (body soul and spirit) becomes free of the chaos and sticky brokenness brought on by sin. A little act of disobedience, one that seems trivial, can set a chain of events within and without us that can destroy much of the progress we have made toward heavenly joy and peace. Disobedience is the great drug that intoxicates us and brings hidden destruction. We grow in grace and freedom and joy as we simply by faith do what the Lord tells us to do.

Strawberry Pie Recipe
Crust:
Process 2cups of almonds in the food processor until they have turned to fine “sand”.
Add 2cups of pitted dates and continue to process. Mixture should be sticky when finished.
Press mixture into a pie plate “greased” with virgin coconut oil, or something similar.
Filling:
Wash and cut organic strawberries into small pieces (about 5 cups.?)
Binder: Put about approx. 2cups strawberries in blender with approx. 2cup of dates (I get my dates from Costco) and approx. 1 Tbsp psyllium husk (from Trader Joes, this is a thickening agent that helps make the binder gelatinous). This binder should be “too sweet” as it will sweeten the strawberries.
Fold binder into cut berries and spoon into crust. Smooth filling with spatula to eliminate voids, cover and leave in fridge overnight to gel. Serve the next day, or same day but it will not hold its shape well.
