The Journey Begins

When this summer started, I had big plans.  A few trips out of town to see family, teaching VBS at church, my daughter's 1st baton twirling contest, and our annual 4th of July trip to Grandma Jones' for a weenie roast & fireworks!  And we've certainly done all that, but with a few twists and turns along the way.  I was out a few days with a high fever (ear infection & early bronchitis), we decided to go gluten free to help my husband's stomach which was a huge life change, our Great Uncle Jesse passed away (heart-breaking), and now poor PJ has pneumonia.  In John 16:33 it says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”  I find great comfort and strength knowing that God is always with me!

Chris and I have been dying for Chinese food since going Gluten Free.  This week I made a GREAT recipe I found on Pinterest (love it) and had to share!  We even had leftovers and it was just as good warmed up which was a huge plus!  We will definitely repeat this. 

Gluten Free Sweet & Sour Chicken and Fried Rice - just use gluten free soy sauce!

It will be a journey being gluten free, but if it helps Chris then it's worth it!  I hope all of you enjoy reading my blog - not because I'm some amazing writer, but because I'm just a wife, mama, daughter, sister, friend like everyone else who is constantly seeking God to help strengthen and guide me in this journey of life.  I hope all of you are having a peaceful Saturday evening & remember, listen for the sweet sound of Giggles from Heaven!!!
