So I haven't posted in a few weeks. Here is a quick update on my life:
*Have decided to attempt a Gluten-Free diet. In the past few weeks, there have been several people that have approached me with "gluten-free" lifestyles or asking me if I have tried it yet. Those with a gluten intollerance are prone to infertility and recurrent miscarriage. Honestly, I wonder if the Lord has been trying to get my attention. There are several other "symptoms" that I have and the only way to test for it is to go gluten free for a few months. So bye bye bread and pasta for a while. We will see what happens. (We think my dad and possibly my sister have it, too... and since gluten intollerance is hereditary, that makes sense.)
*My dad is doing EXCELLENT. Almost fully restored. What a beautiful answer to prayer and blessing in our lives! We are so grateful to the Lord. Dad had to step down from his position in the ministry, and the day that he officially quit, he began to get better. Wonder what God is doing? Mom and Dad are wondering what the Lord has next for them, as they are both now unemployed... so who knows where their money will come from... but God has yet to fail them, so I guess there is no reason to worry.
*Andy and I have gotten back into the Word of God... doing daily devotions like we should have long ago but were too lazy to do so. The Lord has blessed our small efforts so greatly in the past month... we take a step towards Him and he takes 100 steps towards us. I have seen such a change in my husband... and there is much peace in my home. The cloud of depression has lifted. I am blessed. We are simply waiting on the Lord to direct us as to what He has for us.
*The pugs are the same. They never seem to change. I love that about them.
Anyway... I think that's about it.
About Me

I'm sure you know this already but you can still have bread...and probably pasta. They have Gluten Free stuff like Gluten Free Bisquick...can still make your yummy chicken n' dumplin's...and my mother in law uses the brand Bob's Red Mill gluten free line of products.
As always, that's amazing that God is healing your Dad. I was praying for you and Andy one day...this is what I wanted to call you about and never did. Sorry....but as I was praying for y'all and some of my other friends God spoke to me and said "the miracle is coming!" Now, I thought for a while not to tell you but why NOT?!!! We BOTH know the miracle IS coming...and God never disappoints. Maybe He was talking about your Dad....maybe your future child...or both!
Love you!
Thanks girl! Have become well aquainted with Bob's Red Mill GF products... his chocolate cake mix rocks! And Betty Crocker has come out with a ton of gluten free stuff and so has general mills (cereal).
Waiting on the miracle. Believe that it's coming soon. You will hear me praising God all the way in Texas. *smile*
