Those Things Which are Before

I've been completely unmotivated and uninspired in the kitchen lately. 

Usually I adore trying new, healthful recipes.

It could be because we just moved from a city I loved, my Home with a capital H, to a temporary living situation in a very different world. 

It could be because Zak doesn't eat with us as his work keeps him away most of the week even providing a place for him to sleep away from home. 

But mostly I'm heart-broken that the first city we've lived in our nearly 6 years of marriage that felt like HOME, is no longer ours. Instead, I've been feeding my kids nutritionally inferior, processed foods. Something else to beat myself up over.

Regardless, I firmly believe that as temporary as this current living situation is, keeping our family together is what is MOST important.

So I continue, one foot in front of the other. 

Trying not to be as Lot's wife (Genesis 19), who commanded not to look behind her did so anyway. But instead I try to remember that "the past is to be learned from and not lived in."

So here's to "reaching forth unto those things which are before."
