Loving is What Brings Us Closer to God
Sometimes it hurts to love. Love requires saying goodbye. It means you might get left out when the one you love chooses someone else. It means standing on the sideline and watching from the crowd. It hurts and it’s a sacrifice. So why choose to love? Because life is empty without love. Because loving is what brings us closer to God.
“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” (1 John 4:16 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!]
