Kountry Buffet...Southern Fried Tilapia...Doing Nothing...

Kairos Kountry Buffet

What’s Up Guys,

I hope you are all having a great start to your week. This week has been full of delicious goodness around here. I have been cooking up a storm, and I’m loving every minute of it! The Specials this week include Kairos Chicken Denise... Pan Seared Chicken with sautéed broccoli, an awesome cream sauce, and Mozzarella Cheese. The Buffet this week will feature Mee-Maw’s Chicken & Dressing, Beef Tips and Rice (a new recipe I’m working on), Collard Greens, Butter Beans, Cream Corn Salad, and much more... The Fish at Both Locations is a winner Fresh Tilapia, Southern Fried or Grilled with Lemon Butter Sauce and Capers. This week I had a guest tell me that my Fried Tilapia was... “Better than Captain D’s” ... I’m taking that as a compliment. J We also have all your favorites, Kairos Greek Taco, Branden’s Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Pimento Cheese, and Jeremy’s Made From Scratch Fries! Come and see me this week at one of our locations in Birmingham or Gardendale... or both!

The Kountry Buffet Menu will be posted daily on our Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/KairosKafe) and all the Specials for Birmingham and Gardendale are posted there and on our website (www.KairosKafe.com)

This week I have been facing some tough obstacles in our business. There are several things going on that make me nervous, and when things are not going as they should I feel like I should be doing something about it. Every morning when I prayed the only thing I could hear Jesus saying to me was “James, Go Cook.”

Around Friday morning I was aggravated with the whole thing, and I was crying out to God to show me what to do... again... “James, Go Cook.” I went through my house stomping my feet and questioning God... “With everything that is going on that’s the only thing you want me to do?? Go Cook??”

Yup. That was his answer. I’m still not quite sure how to take all that, but it seems clear to me that there is a lesson here that I need to learn or I will continue to circle this mountain again and again. I’ve had seasons of Jesus telling me to trust Him, to do this or to do that, but I don’t ever remember Him telling me to do nothing. I can’t wait to tell you guys how this one turns out. When I’m not fussing about it I’m smiling. But I can tell you this one is more than hard.

"We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us." 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 NLT)

I think the most important thing for us to hear in any situation is what Jesus has to say, and if He says do nothing, or Go Cook, then that must mean He has something pretty incredible in the works.

God Bless you guys. Thank You for supporting Kairos, and thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my thoughts. Have an awesome week!
