So guess what I made tonight!!! I know, I know, you probably guessed it from the post title eh! :) Homemade tortillas. I'm telling you how much I like tortillas and have wanted to find a way to make them cheaper than buying them. Hubby found this recipe for me...it is so easy and so yummy. :)
AND THEY TASTED GOOD!!!!
So here's the recipe, it's super simple. Original recipe here.
Mix together Two cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 cup water and 3 tbsps of oil.
Knead that mixture for a good 8 minutes, adding flour or water as needed to make a smooth elastic dough.
Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide into 8 sections, roll each section out as thin as possible, a minimum 7 inch circle.
Cook over a medium burner on a non stick pan with cooking spray. 1 minute each side (you want them LIGHTLY browned).
Keep them warm. Makes 8 servings.
Easy to make, tastes yummy too! :)
Tonight we used them wrapped around shredded beef with corn niblets. MMMMM.. ... :)
I can totally see cutting them into pieces and using them with a dip, or with mmmm.. melted cheese. :)

I've been going through The Excellent Wife by Martha Pearce, you can find the rest of the series here. This week we are on Chapter Four: A Wife's Understanding of Relationships.
Relationships... Oh man... relationships are hard between people. So I am wondering what this chapter has in store today.
On page 28 I find this quote "The Godhead's relationship is our model of relationships. From eternity past God (Trinity) has set the pattern for relationships. The relationship within the Trinity is intimate and close. As there is harmony in the God-head, there can be harmony in a marriage relationship. God intends and desires for us to experience it. We are to look to God for this perfect pattern".
Within the Trinity, unity is the norm. This is what we should strive for in our marriages.
As people we are to strive to be like Jesus Christ.
Like Christ, we need to submit our will to God. Following his way and pattern. As natural as it is for us to want to think first to our own needs and wants, we must put that aside and look to Jesus and how to live for him.
That means putting aside ourselves to heed our husbands desires, to be kind to him, to be open and honest in your relationship with him and more.
But not only the wife, as the wife seeks to live for the Lord, so her husband seeks the same. Learning to be open and honest, leading and guiding as the Lord would have him do.
I have to admit... I struggle with this chapter (though I suppose we all do eh?) The 'me' in me wanting to fight for it's own way. It's a regular battle.. not to love my hubby, cause I do. But to show that love in tangible ways... making meals, going for walks, talking and listening, giving head and shoulder rubs, and showing care in all the little ways one can show they care. Sometimes it's hard to leave MY STUFF in order for his needs and concerns to be met.
I so often lose that battle.
But the more I ask myself these questions, the easier I think it will be.
1. How do I glorify God in my relationship with my hubby?
2. How can I walk in a manner pleasing to God?
3. How can I live for Christ this day? This minute?
Seeking the softer way, the quieter way, the humbler way.. instead of the what do I want, need, desire, demand way.
What about you?

Todays' bible passage comes from Ezekiel 41. Learning about the Inner Temple.
Can you imagine for a moment... being shown into yet another room in this HUGE temple city and watching all the measuring being done and you then hear these words: “This is the Most Holy Place.”
Just think about that... having a vision of the place that will be God's holy spot. His area, where only a select group of people can go. And you get the first glimpse of it, a vision that you have to carry to the rest of the people.
Think on that.
