We had some ground beef, and I've been wanting burgers! It. Makes me feel that spring really might come yet, even though it doesn't seem or feel like it! So, I looked up some recipes on Pinterest and chose my favourite parts of different ones ...the result was super easy and super yummy.
I'm not sure why I've always thought some things were just too hard to make - like pasta, burgers, buns even...I've made my own bread for over ten years but have never made buns, except in mass amounts at the bakery last season, but still, they weren't a bun for a burger or sandwich, just a dinner roll.
It's funny to me, thinking about this AFTER making a few of these 'hard' things, that it was really just my uneducated, not willing to try it, or even look into it- opinion.
I think too often this translates into other parts of my life. Some things just seem to hard, or unattainable, that I don't even want to try, or think about trying. Or, in the other sense, I get too comfortable with what I know - and really, I think it is this aspect that helps the uneasiness grow.
When I cracked a rib a month or so ago, at first I was so put off by having to rest, not being able to run, or move around much at all...but then, after a while, I got so comfortable doing not much of anything, it seemed like a chore to even just get out of bed.
Thankfully, my rib is healing, but now it's my heart and emotions that need to heal as well and get back into things. I need to do these 'hard' things, that really aren't that bad, and enjoy the process, praising God for healing, and for the blessings He has given!
Back to the meal....
So I mixed together ground beef, some spices, soya sauce, Worcester sauce, egg...and voila!
Then I worked on a bun dough, let it rise while I went out for a couple of hours, shaped the buns and baked them!
I know I'm going to have some thrilled family with this meal!
Try those hard things! Stretch your point of comfort, and in all things, give God thanks!
