Every single day this month I&#8217;ve had a smoothie, however&#8230;I must admit that the &#8220;colour&#8221; part has been lacking. I have this strong compulsion to add cocoa or spirulina to EVERY smoothie.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4856\" alt=\"Chocolate Obsession Smoothie\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chocolate-Obsession-Smoothie-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chocolate-Obsession-Smoothie-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chocolate-Obsession-Smoothie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chocolate-Obsession-Smoothie-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Chocolate-Obsession-Smoothie.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This, naturally, makes every smoothie a chocolately brown or green&#8230;while I&#8217;m not opposed to that&#8230;I felt this morning needed more colour.

Lately, I&#8217;ve been just so overwhelmed by God&#8217;s grace&#8230;and His Presence. I&#8217;ve been walking a lot lately, just spending time in prayer and worship&#8230;and I honestly will say that those times are the most precious of my life. Nothing is sweeter than God&#8217;s closeness. Nothing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4866\" alt=\"He Will Carry you when you can't go on\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/photo5-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/photo5-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/photo5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/photo5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/photo5.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I know I shared this verse on <a title=\"Colourful Palate on Instagram\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/colourfulpalate#\" target=\"_blank\">my Instagram channel<\/a>, but it has been such a encouragement to me lately&#8230;and I pray that it will bless you today too. Just know that whatever is happening in your life&#8230;whatever storm you&#8217;re walking through, He is THERE. We just need to ask for Him to be with us. In every part of our life.

I&#8217;d be so honoured to lift you up to God in prayer! I want this site to be more than just health and fitness of the body, but of our hearts!
