African Peanut Soup
This past weekend I took a whirlwind trip to Florida. I so needed to soak up the sunshine, warm weather, and the beach. I needed a reprieve from life in West Michigan. Not only from the winter and the gray weather, but parts of my life here. I recently experienced a break up with a guy I'd been dating for close to a year now. It ended due to spiritual differences, and I must say I've had it out with God lately. In my eyes, there was no one to be mad at except myself or God. So I've been doing half and half. Somewhere in the past bit, I've started to cringe whenever people attribute good things to God. Maybe I've been angry at God's timing and answers to my prayers and that of others around me. I also have had a really hard time feeling His presence, which was once quite close to me. At church, we've been talking about how life is just a vapor, a spray of mist that is here and gone. That's how feeling God has felt to me. So what better place to escape all...
