Compare!

As a woman…no…as a person…I absolutely hate that word.

Why? Because I do this…I’m always comparing!

Here’s the thing about comparison. I get nothing out of it. But I continued to do it.

All it did was eat away at my heart, discourage me, and make me feel like I wasn’t good enough or that I would never get to where I wanted to be. So, do it again. Why should I do this! ?

There are times when I rely on what God says about me and not worry about what the world says. To me, comparison is like a scab that’s about to heal. But instead of letting it heal, I picked it up and it started bleeding again. What’s the point!

What am I comparing, you ask? My photography. I go online and I’m surrounded by gorgeous photos. I’m constantly pinning things and looking for inspiration. I’m friends with all these incredible women who are passionate about all the same things that I am…but in my opinion, they do it better than I do. Everyone does it better than me.

Sometimes I think that when we just speak out the things that eat away at us, they lose their power. These “lies” have power in the dark, but once exposed, they lose their authenticity. We see things as they are, not as we perceive them. Just like now. When I say the things that make me insecure, I realize how stupid they sound. My value is not measured by the quality of my photography, nor by the quality of my blog. My worth is only measured by God and that is the only voice I need to listen to!

So this is an opportunity to hear new voices. The voice of truth.

Okay, that’s it for today’s food!

One day I was browsing Bon Appetit magazine and saw this gorgeous big photo of a whole chicken, perfectly browned and juicy, right in front of me! I knew I needed to make one immediately.Last time I posted whole chicken The recipe on JHE uses crock pot! Easiest thing ever!

Today’s recipe is just as easy, but with that crispy crust everyone loves.There’s something so beautiful and comforting Oven roasted chicken! Plus, you’ll love the lemon garlic butter slathered on this chicken.it has a slight smoky flavor smoked paprikawhich adds a nice touch that will make people ask “What’s in this?”

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Bon appetit my friends!
