Chong's Korean

We have been enjoying some of the local shops

in the area during construction on the to help

support them since most people don't wan to brave the construction zone to visit the local shops.

Chong's Korean Barbecue is amazing, 

and run by an amazing woman that does everything

by her self.  She greats you, takes you order, cooks and 

serves you with a smile....

This is the Korean version of sushi.... It is 

completely delicious and has no raw meat 

for the squeamish...

"Kimbap"

This is my Hubby's favorite, the Korean barbecue

with white rice and a delicious salad of spinach greens

tossed with a soy sauce based dressing..... Yum!!!

"Taegi Gogi"

This is what I tried this time, since I had heard

so many people order this over the phone while

we have sat there waiting for our food to arrive...

It was really good...but everything we have 

ordered we have liked.

This had cooked ingredients and some 

raw vegies in this, on a bed of rice...

She instructed me to toss it together before

I ate it.  There is also a Fried egg over easy 

on top that added a pretty neat taste to the dish.

"Bibimbap with Pork"

This is my hubby threatening to eat the food

before I can take a picture of it....

Quite the funny guy.  He was pretty hungry though

so I don't blame him of wanting to 

dig right in and eat... 

Actually, when the food came I had this dish with

chicken, and it had such a great wafting scent coming

my way that I forgot to take a picture of my food

and started eating it right away, and completely forgot to

take a picture of my plate...  

Oh Goodness.... 

Now I am craving this food!!

And I can't justify going there all by my self

Being Creative??

Rainy summer day here.....

love spending time with my bible and a good cup of 

coffee on the front porch in the morning

when it is not too rainy....

Yesterday I spent some time painting with water colors

kind of fun....

Wanting to be more creative..... Summer time is

for having fun, and doing things, and experiencing things

new and adventurous...

I'm in the mood to be creative in Gods Creation.

Give praise to the Lord who creates beauty

all around you....

What are you doing this summer to be creative 

and enjoy the beauty of summer?

I am thinking of working on a Bible art Journal....

I'll post pictures if I actually get some pages done, 

there are so many examples on pinterest and Instagram, 

it really inspires me to dig into Gods word, and

be creative in the process....

Hope you have a Blessed, and creative weekend.

Summer Bible Studies

I am loving my bible studies this summer.....

I am doing two, and both of them meet different needs that 

I have in a bible study.

The first (Psalm 119) has a printable study that you 

work on and use the SOAK method, which gets you

studying and thinking about what it means in your

life, and how God is speaking to you through it.

I usually start off in the morning, reading the required verses, 

write out the the study verse, and think about it all day...

At the end of the day, I journal, and finish the application 

part of the study and re-ponder the verses of the day....

The second study I am thoroughly enjoying is from 

Shereadstruth.com  It is a study Called

 Women in the Word.

I starts with Eve, and goes through the bible 

old and new testaments.

They have interactive posting, so you can share your

heart with all the other precious women that are doing the

study with you.

The daily bible reading and devotionals are so heart felt

and have been such a blessing to my life...

You can jump in and start on the current day, or go back

and start at the beginning with Eve...  

All content is online.  A new devotional each day, and corresponding bible passages.... 

I just love taking my bible study and my cup of Coffee

out on the porch in the morning and listening to the birds

chirping, and the leaves blowing in the breeze while I read

and study Gods word....  It sets my day off to a perfect and

refreshing beginning.....

Here are links to both studies...

I hope you will take a look and dig into the 

Word Of God this summer....
