Yummy lekka Chicken....
Ok, this is a remix of Tazz and Nats moms chicken, they had portugese spice and Nando's peri peri sauce but I had to make do with what i had and resulted in the house smelling like spur and my sis who doesnt eat meat eating all her chicken up immediately. (note, in case u're thinking my grammah sucks, remember that just like i write fast and it turns out untidy,so when I type, i am typing fast... and hnec not always checking what i just typed)
recipe
chicken ( i used filleted skinless chicken breasts, however it is up to you)
lemon juice
mayonnaise
garlic
chutney (or sweet chilli/barbecue)
(barbecue) chicken spice
cajun spice
salt and pepper
Method.
Slit small cuts in chicken however not necessary,just what i did and then sprinkle lemon juice all over chicken. now add salt, pepper, chicken spice and cajun spice over both sides.
In a seperate bowl mix mayonnaise, a bit of garlic,and a bit of chutney, this is not sweet chicken that i'm making so really try to put less than 10 percent chutney or sauce 90% mayo and garlic in bowl and mix well
Put the chicken on a baking plate and put it on top shelp and set oven to grill.you can put the sauce on after the chicken cooked or prior to putting it in oven. this may cause burning but didnt in my case...either way... ithink to first cook chicken a bit would be wise...
Serve with toss salad that has red pepper in as well and mushrooms if possible and can make savoury rice with it too. mmmmmm

today...
take note, they not necessarily all Godly or anything, but I do live and bring them inline so whatever is not will fall away....
* i bumped a dog today... it was rainy, dark and he just stepped in front of my car, no time to break it was almost immediate and I saw my number plate flying, this was in a road not to safe, and i was on my way to Belhar to fetch my sister... I pulled off, thinking to get my number plate, also afraid of seeing a dead dog, but then turned around wiht my car only to see the dog on the side fo the road, walking. I thought if he is still there, I'm going to pray for him for healing. but then when i stopped the car he crossed and went off into the night,hope he will be ok. I choose to see it as God saved his life and mine. Then the search for the number plate occured, and eventually a guy helped me look. Note I said in the dark in the rain. Eventually found it after asking a white trucker who was just as afraid of opening his window for me as I was of going to ask a trucker in a truck for help...he directed me to it, I left, and trust God that the kind guy who helped me made it for his late bus. I then went to fetch my sis.
*from observing this very helpful and kind girl in my class and thinking I wonder if she ever gets tired of helping or what it is that motivates her to be so helpful I had this revelation (sorry if using wrong word): when you are looking after yourself you can look after others, that is an overflow and hence many of us feel used when we give, because we are so busy giving we dont look after ourselves and then expect others to look after us because we look after others, but when you have taken care of your own things and at the same time helping others, you dont have to expect anything from others or get frustrated... :)
*observation:. does anyone like that feeling when you like someone and it's before you know they like or dont like you or before God takes that feelings away or reality hits or whatever...it's almost a sick to my stomach feeling ;) and if you do enjoy that feeling have you ever had more than one broken heart. I think being single for 9 years and knowing that in those 9 years I've met people I thought were great but the feeling was never mutual, kinda take it now as i'm not going to think anymore into things unless love slaps me in the face, or God confirms things through scripture, so in the meantime, i'm just like Oh God, your will be done, not mine or anyone else's and where things are not your will take them away and where it is...Lord make things in beautiful in your time. but in the meantime? I will just keep trying to think Normal thoughts! and live life and keep my eyes on the right place.
* after seeing someone get a bit (ok that is a great euphemism) frustrated at how people take advantage of her...I kinda wrote this down: ok, cant find this either, will just have to sort of paraphrase it...i said that life is like a see saw and when you seem to be going up a friend may be going down yet because you were down you can empathise but because you are now at a higher point you can encourage but life seems to be like that often, whenever you are going down there are people around who are strong in the times you are weak
* had an awesome biblestudy wed...was about John 5 and how the people kept missing the point, when jesus spoke people were healed. A man who was an invalid for so many years gets rebuked for carrying his mat on a sabbath after being healed, instead of rejoicing that he was healed. they and us still now keep missing the point. also otherwise left full :) the word is food to my stomach and healing to my bones ;)

another update
It's amazing how we can wish nothing but the best for some people, yet not apply it to our own lives. how we can hope that they wouldn't settle for less than they deserve, pray for them, etc. but then when it comes to our own lives we do settle, or if not settling, we don't wait on God to confirm what we are thinking and kinda act more like we're on some kind of roller coaster ride instead of walking and living along side God allowing him to unfold things, in his time. He makes everything beautiful in his time. So things are happening, God's things, or my things, as yet I don't know. Been hoping things will be clarified speedily but at the same time, I require a lot more quietening down and praying and seeking God's face before I can draw my own conclusions. God is still a worthy cause (from Sara Groves song Love is still a worthy cause) -> I mean it is still the best thing to do to go to God first before anything else :)
the fast was good, but a struggle and hunger was the least of my problems... but it's over and i already saw breakthrough in some areas...
my favourite revelation this week past was John 10, Jesus being the Good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. The hired hand will not lay his life down, instead when the wolf comes he runs away, beaucse the sheep arent his... in the same way, yes there are people in my life there to look after me? but they are not my good shepherd...they are just hired hands... I need to know that whether they are there or not, I have a GOOD shepherd who will never leave me nor forsake me instead, who lays down his life for me :)
Oh how he loves me....

Nice Interview about Spiritual hunger with Misty Edwards that I typed out
Spiritual Hunger...Misty Edwards IHOP interview
Guy:
The dry season I promise you it will pass. If you stay in the place of hunger
I don't wanna depress you, it could be a year...
The reality is not one moment, not one cry of the human heart ever goes ignored before the throne room
So if you going "I dont feel him..." That ache has been ringing through the ages and he's listening.
And to end up in the place of/where the revelation of the Lord is touching you is profound
M.E:
Oh and even just meeting him in the ache. He said blessed are the hungry. Sometimes we think that encountering God is to be fully satisfied and to encounter him means I seeing angels and I'm going to the 3rd heaven. Encountering God sometimes is encountering him in hunger. And Going Ok, I dont feel you I cant see you i dont really hear you but I am going to stay in this wilderness and I'm going to trust that you are working, the hand of the potter. I love the way you say that cause I know those seasons,I've been through many many seasons of just barren prayer and God feels so far away, but just knowing that I move him and is it enough for me at the end of the day, that even if I am not moved, is it enough to know that I moved him, and it is. it's enough.
lady:
And the nature of hunger is pain..
Everyone saysI'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm Hungry Well OW, I try and get out of hunger. in the natural if I'm hungry I want pizza, I wanna do something to take the hunger pang away.
But to live in the place of hunger, to stay there and not be satisfied with a counterfeit and to stay even in the wilderness and not self deliver but wait for God to come, this is abandonment and to say you come meet me here, I wanna taste royalty?loyalty here...
M.E:
Exactly, That is abandonment , when you going I'm not going to take those 4 hours and go to a movie or go shopping or do those things i'm going to sit here for 4 hours ,cause thats the block of time I have and I am going to at least do my part and the rest of it is up to you God. if you come
and over time, again it's over time you start to feel your heart melting
things happen over time
and you look back at those dry seasons (or I do) and I go, I see how much depth the Lord put in me and how much I was learning about myself and learning about God in that season. I wouldnt trade those seasons for the world
lady
Yes, he's leadership is perfect
M.E
Thats so true
Lady:
It feels so dark and empty in that time and then you come out of it and you almost miss it
M.E:
Yeah you meet him there
Lady
It's like a little twisted, but it's like you were there in a way that you're not here
unique.
M.E:
it's true, and every season has its purpose
Guy:
But I wanna encourage you because i've run into just through our travels many people who would come up to me and say "I can't find God in my church, I can't find God in my college group "whatever the issue, wherever you in" i wanna talk to you specifically and I wanna encourage you to stay- I'm not telling you to stay in your circumstances, but to stay what Misty brought up Blessed are those who are hungry, Stay in that place because what you are developing in there is a perpetual hunger that is ,it's taking you so deep. And when the Lord does come and breathe upon you, you feel his presence your depth will be so much greater and stay hungry and stay with hope. Stay, Stay Do not let hope dwindle...
get to conferences come to the onething conference get refreshed and go back home but Stay in the place of hunger...I plead,I encourage you because the rewards will be amazing here and also in the age to come. I just think there are some of you that are going "you know what I am dry I wanna give in " Do not throw in the towell. Stay in the place, Stay in the Place and He will reward you.
Heavenly Father I thank you for what you are doing in this generation. I am positive that the hand of a divine God is working in this generation and I pray right now in the name of Jesus, that the Holy Spirit would breathe on this generation and spark something within their hearts, that hunger, that perpetual hunger that would catapult them into the deep things of the knowledge of God that would leave them eternally fascinated. I'm talking eternally fascinated, all the days of their life in this age let them live radically abandoned. Fully of Business people, lawyers, doctors, construction workers I'm asking set this generation ablaze and I pray this now in the name of Jesus. Amen!
