Ok, so if you know me this well, you are amazing and should probably recieve a gold star, but it is a rather known fact around my house that I am a stellar grilled cheese maker. It is totally an art, and can totally be messed up! So if you like grilled cheese’s as much as I do, you know that it takes a very strict balance between melting the cheese and toasting the bread to a golden crisp without burning the bread. The biggest secret to a grilled cheese (drumroll please…) is to not have the stove on really hot. What a quick fix! All you gotta do is be more patient!
Ok so if you’ve read my other blogs, you know that I tie ridiculous things in with life, well here I go again tying in making a grilled cheeses to your life. I’ve probably totally lost it… Oh well.
So lately I’ve been going through a lot, and my first reaction is to fix fix fix, do whatever I can to change the situation because I don’t want to let it get worse, but I also don’t have patience to let God tell me what to do with it, so I do whatever I can to change it to make sure its ok for the day, but never the long term helping fix. I am like the opposite of a calm patient person, probably because since I was like 10 years old I decided I had to do absolutely everything, so I never learned what life was like quiet and peaceful, so I keep filling it, and then I tell myself I don’t have time for patience… HA! Ridiculous eh?
So tonight, when I decided I wanted a grilled cheese, I had to seriously consider if it was worth the time because the way I make a grilled cheese, takes me a while. And must be enjoyed with a tall glass of milk and an open book. So is patience and asking God for help worth your time? Or is the quick fix continuing to satisfy you? Because easily something different could have filled my stomach, but what do you want in life? To constantly take the easy way out and get it done for today? Or to learn and grow from every experience and cherish it? I know that with what I’m going through right now, I need to take a step back, and really make sure I’m dealing with things in a patient, kind, calm, peaceful way, and make sure that I’m not just doing what needs to be done to move on with my day. (AKA burning the bread, yuck)
So anyone want to join me for a grilled cheese? I’m even offering to take the time to make one for you! However, if a grilled cheese is not joined by an open book, it must be joined by a chat that lasts longer than 10 minutes and goes deeper than the surface. (Who knew there were rules with a grilled cheese??)
Anyone wanna take me up on my offer?
I will gladly take you up on a grilled cheese day!!!!!
