Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet

 

Summertime and the livings easy! And isn’t that what we all love so much about summer? Last summer we went to Maui for a family vacation. It was like pineapple central. I have never had so many pineapple treats in one whole week! From pineapple’s all over my acai bowls, pineapple whip, pina colada’s, pineapple ice cream, to even drinking fresh pineapple juice out of an actual pineapple. I mean it’s pretty safe to say I was in pineapple heaven, and this girl has no complaints!

 

 

As I was reminiscing this week about our trip last July,  I started to get some serious major pineapple cravings. It’s been warming up here in North Idaho so I thought a pineapple sorbet sounded pretty darn amazing. This tropical frozen treat has a fun little twist… raspberries. That was non negotiable because pineapple and raspberries are my two most favorite fruits. It would be a sin if I left them out.

 

My Pineapple Raspberry Sorbet recipe can be made in a jiff, and it only requires 4 ingredients! Yes four ingredients. I knew that would make you smile 🙂 This delicious light summer treat is paleo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and has no refined sugars. How can it get any better than that? All you need is a food processor, frozen pineapple, frozen raspberries, better than half, and honey ( I like to buy local honey, it helps to combat allergies ). I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do, and if your looking for some more pineapple inspiration check out this delicious Pineapple Candied Yams recipe. This is a great recipe to keep in mind with the holidays right around the corner.

Faith On Record

If you believe the word of God then you believe in heaven and you believe in hell. After my grandmother died a few years ago, God brought something to my attention. Something that to be honest frightened me at first but later I realized God was revealing something to me that was so precious it wasn’t meant to frighten me, but to encourage me and give me hope and confidence that my salvation is secure and firm in him. 

My grandmother lived an amazing almost 102 years. A sweet yet strong independent woman who lived her life devoted to loving Christ and loving others. A good person by all means. Sixteen years before my grandmothers death I lost one of my great grandmothers. She didn’t care to know Christ or have a personal relationship with him. However, a very strong independent woman, raised her kids, never stole, and was an honest person…  just a good person in general.

Every year for Christmas I would send my grandmother a scripture calendar for her wall.  The year she died I had given her a calendar with a beautiful picture of Jesus on every monthly page. In the last month of her life she asked my dad to tear off the cover of the calendar ( which was by far the most majestic glorious picture of Jesus Christ ) and move it over to the wall by her bed so she could look at it every day. In the last few weeks of her life she would point to the picture of Jesus on the wall and say he’s speaking to her and talking to her. She was in so much peace in her last days. I take heart in knowing she’s in heaven and that I get to see her again someday.

Sixteen years earlier my great grandmother died. Our family talked with her on many occasions about coming to know Christ as her personal savior. She always rejected the notion. It just wasn’t something she thought was necessary or needed. The last few weeks of her life was filled with torment and unfortunately lacked peace in every way. She would have demonic visions … and would holler “ They’re coming to get me, They’re coming to get me.” It breaks my heart to know that that’s how her last weeks on earth were spent. What breaks my heart even more is to know that she may very well be in hell for eternity. 

When I started to reflect on my grandmothers peaceful death and in contrast my great grandmothers, God began to illuminate my thoughts and spirit through his word. So here’s what God spoke to my heart and brought to my attention …

The world says “ Be a good person and you will go to heaven. “ 

God says: 

Ephesians 2:8-9 

 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; It is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 

Romans 10 : 9-10

If you openly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

God has shown me that there’s no such thing as a good person. We all fall short of his glory. God loved us so much that he sent his son to die on a cross for our sins that we might believe and receive eternal life. God loves us unconditionally. Grace cannot be bought, it’s God’s unmerited favor. Salvation is a gift from God and he longs for no one to perish. The choice is ours! ♥️

1 Peter 5:10

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Nothing that happens in our life is wasted. God works all things together for good. He uses those setbacks, frustrations, and difficulties to glorify His name and display His work in our lives.  I never really understood what good God could bring forth from all the health struggles I endured over the years. Looking back the evidence is so clear. He was refining, perfecting, and preparing me to go all the way with him. This purifying process was equipping me for greater things to come… skimming off all impurities and building in me mighty muscles of faith! We’ve been called according to his purpose and we have a destiny to fulfill. No matter what life throws our way, we can take confidence and assurance in the fact that God has a master plan and he will use it for the good… It’s without question! God is all powerful, will you trust him enough to hand the reigns over to him?

 

🌟 We are the Clay and he is our Potter, molding and perfecting us  🌟

2 corinthians: 12:9

My grace is sufficient for you, For my power is made perfect in weakness.

Right now I’m doing a study on the book of Gideon. It is a fascinating story. There is so much I’m learning. One of the main themes that keeps tugging at my heart is how God works through our own weaknesses rather than through our strengths. I find that when I am totally dependent on God, he gives me peace and victory in my life. However when I’m walking in pride I find it a lot harder to function in life with any sort of effectiveness. God wants us to depend entirely on him. If we depend on ourselves and our own strength too much, he cannot work. It’s not just putting 50% of our confidence in him, it’s putting 100% of our confidence in him. That means humbling ourselves enough to listen, having open hearts and ears. Our strengths come through our weaknesses. We have to identify and harness our weaknesses , and then capitalize on it!!! So let’s annihilate all pride and ask God to keep us weak so that he might be our strength. Then and only then will victory prevail in our lives ?

I am insufficient, but his grace is sufficient??

Romans 8: 31-37

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those who God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died – more than that, who was raised to life – is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

You know as I’m reading that I feel like the Lord is trying to tell me hey Natalie I want to be your strength!  I get on here and I write these faith filled blogs, and I mean what I say and I know myself really well. Sitting here writing this down, I realize one of my weaknesses is like what I’ve said before ‘depending on my own self’. Walking in the Flesh instead of Walking in the Spirit! I feel like I’m pretty solid in my walk with the Lord but I know sometimes I take things back. I will turn something over to the Lord and then take it back. Can you relate?  I think I need a big fat spanking!! God help me?

Tonight my spirit really resonated with verses 34-36 . So shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword separate me from the love of Christ? Absolutely not! Like 37 says : We are more than conquerors through him who loved us! I’m still waiting for God to give me complete victory over this nerve pain in my arms. It’s been a long year and half with no answers. I have found some relief and a few things that have helped but nothing so significant. Last month I found myself relying on my own thoughts and ways about how God might heal me. I took it upon myself to google and find another specialist without praying and waiting to hear from God. He immediately slammed the door shut! There is nothing I can do at this point except wait and wait patiently, knowing he will lead and guide me on the best path.  Romans 8:24-25 says it perfectly, For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

I don’t always want to live on auto pilot controlling my way through life. I want the blessings of God. So I have to choose not to believe my feelings but believe in Gods Word. I want the spirit to empower me to live victoriously, and I can’t do that when I’m trying to solve things in my own reasoning. There may be times where I feel desperate but my emotions are not reliable, Jesus Christ is my constant source of strength and hope. I AM NOT GIVING UP and neither should you! … His Grace is sufficient!

We are more than Conquerors! Nothing can separate us from the Love of God ❤️

God Bless

James 1:12

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

I love what Joyce Meyer has to say about times of opposition in our life❤️

~ God is more interested in changing us than he is in changing our circumstances. He does not delight in watching us suffer or have a difficult time, but he does delight in our spiritual growth. If we are honest with ourselves we must admit that most of our spiritual maturity develops during the hard times in our lives, not during the easy times. Opposition stretches us. It stretches our faith, teaches us not to trust in ourselves to solve our problems, and gives us compassion for other people who go through difficulties. The apostle James said that our trials will eventually bring out patience and that once patience is fully developed in us, we will lack nothing. (james 1:4)

~ Joyce Meyer

I don’t know about you but for me going through the circumstances life has thrown my way has really taught me how to endure, not only to Just endure but to endure with joy and a good attitude! I think that is only due to the fact that I now know that everything that I go through … God allows , and he ultimately will work it out for my good as I continue to trust in him. His ways are perfect. I want to live a life worthy of him, so I will continue to seek him first.

Keep praying… Keep Seeking
