This evening, I made some homemade chicken, broccoli, and alfredo with penne pasta. I even made the alfredo sauce homemade :)...it turned out good I think. I mean my roommates all loved it, and told me it was great. I also bought some fresh bread from the store and made some garlic cheese bread, and then with the leftover bread I made a garlic dipping sauce to dip the bread in!
Tomorrow we only have one practice as well as some film. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday :)
A video that I came across with that I wanted to share with you all:

Verses of the day:
Psalm 86:5 “You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.”
The Lord is “abounding in love to all”…WOW! Am I abounding in love to all? Jesus associated himself among the worst of people when he was down here on this earth. What a great example Jesus is for us.
Psalm 86:11-13 “Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.”
The phrase “give me an undivided heart” really stuck out to me! In this world, it is so easy to lose focus of lose sight of who we should be serving! My prayer is that I would seek the Lord with an undivided heart, so that when temptations and trial come, I will be able to stand firm!
Proverbs 3:25-26 “Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.”
I think of the recent earthquakes and tsunamis that have taken place on this earth! I think this is a great verse, reminding us to not be fearful. The Lord is who we need to put our hope and confidence in. I am reminded of John 16:33 “ I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
1 Timothy 2:8 “I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer…”
What a great reminder to PRAY!
P – Praise
R – Repent
A – Ask
Y – Yield
I love the fact that we can go to the Lord wherever and whenever we want to! I came across the acronym above, and liked it, so I thought I would share it with you.

My Utmost For His Highest – March 3rd
“HIS COMMISSION TO US”
"Feed My sheep." John 21:17
This is love in the making. The love of God is un-made, it is God's nature. When we receive the Holy Spirit He unites us with God so that His love is manifested in us. When the soul is united to God by the indwelling Holy Spirit, that is not the end; the end is that we may be one with the Father as Jesus was. What kind of oneness had Jesus Christ with the Father? Such a oneness that the Father sent Him down here to be spent for us, and He says - "As the Father hath sent Me, even so send I you."
Peter realizes now with the revelation of the Lord's hurting question that he does love Him; then comes the point - "Spend it out." Don't testify how much you love Me, don't profess about the marvelous revelation you have had, but - "Feed My sheep." And Jesus has some extraordinarily funny sheep, some bedraggled, dirty sheep, some awkward, butting sheep, some sheep that have gone astray! It is impossible to weary God's love, and it is impossible to weary that love in me if it springs from the one centre. The love of God pays no attention to the distinctions made by natural individuality. If I love my Lord I have no business to be guided by natural temperament; I have to feed His sheep. There is no relief and no release from this commission. Beware of counterfeiting the love of God by working along the line of natural human sympathy, because that will end in blaspheming the love of God.
God bless!
