Dreamy Smoothies

"The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe." Proverbs 29:25

I love feeling secure in my Savior's presence. My life is in His hands completely, I have a constant guide and companion. This world is always trying to shake my trust in God, throwing challenges at me and distracting me from His peace. But the moment I open the bible I feel safe again, my path is made visible for me and I am no longer blind. Thank You, my Jesus! How I love Your Word on a Monday morning.  

 

I've been on a smoothie kick for over 7 days (for breakfast! Although I dream of making them my lunch, dinner, desserts, second desserts...etc), and I simply just can't get enough. Their sweet, rich, nutrient-packed, simple to make and filling. It's a delicious way to fuel up and recover after a hard workout, and a fantastic way to start the day. Grab a straw and slurp away, friends.
