God Speaks Through Bread

By De'Etta Goecker

I've been praying for a rainy day so I could get some bread baked.

I've prayed all week, "God, give us a small break, so I can bake bread before we run out." The break hasn't come.

This morning I took out our last mini-loaf. It was a hot and humid morning. It was hot after chapel at 0900. It was HOT after Sunday brunch. It was HOT all the way home...until we crossed the Log Cabin Pachinko/Circle K intersection about a mile from our home. In the middle of the intersection there were PUDDLES and LOTS of rain....and it poured out by us. POURED....very cool.

 I did NOT feel like baking bread when God supplied a break in the weather. I had just enough time to take a much needed nap before heading back to chapel to help transform our sanctuary into a Pirate's ship in the ocean. 

 I'd been PRAYING for this all week...."Just a quick break, God, so I can bake before I run out of bread." I couldn't forget, I'd ASKED GOD FOR A BREAK in the weather. Not to take a nap or get a breather from the heat, but to BAKE BREAD.


I baked...and I pondered how often I pray for God's intervention, and am napping when He provides the answer.....

Wake me up, God....Give me a constant dose of Holy Spirit inspired No Doze.

Fruity Curry Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cooked and diced

• 1 stalk celery, diced

• 4 green onions, chopped

• 1 Golden Delicious apple - peeled, cored and diced

• 1/3 cup golden raisins

• 1/3 cup seedless green grapes, halved

• 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans

• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

• 3/4 cup light mayonnaise

Directions

1. In a large bowl combine the chicken, celery, onion, apple, raisins, grapes, pecans, pepper, curry powder and mayonnaise. Mix all together. Serve!

• Make this with some plain or lemon yogurt instead of using Mayonnaise. Or split it (half Mayo/ half yogurt). I add flax seed to everything. Serve on Pita break instead of a thicker bread to make it lower calorie or eat on top of a green salad.

*Sarah made this for our yearly planning meeting and it was GOOD.  Enjoy.
