Hope for the Future

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40:29 

It’s been almost two months since I found out about all my food allergies.

In the beginning it was extremely hard (not that it isn’t now… haha!). We were trying to figure out what was in what, if I could eat this or that, and basically what could I eat?! A month ago I even went on a three day juicing fast. I only drank juiced vegetables and fruits. It was hard, but I know it was good for me. I needed my gut to calm down and heal. 

For a while I kind of felt like there was nothing I could eat. I felt like complaining all the time, but I did my best not to. I knew God would help me through this. And he has! The last week or so I have really felt like there is hope for the future. He has helped me find solutions and yummy food I can eat. 

For example, we were able to have someone bring gluten free flour from the states so I was actually able to have bread! I even made banana bread.

Also, my dad makes the best tacos in the WORLD, but because of the soy in the veggie meat I couldn’t eat it. BUT, he found a way to make it with lentils. I didn’t think it would be that great, but it is! It’s a good thing I can eat corn because we have been able to use that as a substitute for a lot of things. We even found corn pasta and tortillas!  

So, I just feel that God has really blessed me and given me hope. He has really encouraged me the last few weeks.

Thanks for all the prayers!
