Shadow
I came to Him as a shadow of myself, with nothing to offer except my heart. It felt like a throwaway afterthought. Who would want my broken pieces? What He taught me is my heart is the most precious possession I could ever own – and it’s the only item He ever wanted anyway. So I stretched my arms up and held my heart out to Him, and continue to do so every single day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. (Colossians 2:17 NIV)
![Somehow, I ended up solo tonight. I was already deep in the process of food prep for dinner, and almost bailed when I found out I'd be the only one eating it. But after finishing my first #whole30 last month, I decided I'm worth the effort - even if it's just ME - and continued making my in-depth recipe (which I would have NEVER done just a few months ago). Not only that, I decided to double the recipe so I could share the surplus with a #cleaneating friend who is recovering from surgery.
.
This is my favorite Whole 30 meal:
•Creamy Bacon Garlic Spaghetti from @paleoglutenfreeeats
•Zesty Ranch Smashed Potatoes from @realfoodwithdana
•#DumpRanch from @wholesisters

[Thank you again, @mwannall, for roping me into Whole 30 and changing my life. I love you, sister!]
