Happy (Unofficial) Beginning of Summer!

 

 

Happy Mother's Day!

Strength and honor are her clothing;

She shall rejoice in time to come.

She opens her mouth with wisdom,

And on her tongue is the law of kindness. Proverbs 31:25-26

 

May = National Celiac Disease Awareness Month

 

I'm conflicted as to whether this is truly good news, as Celiac Disease in and of itself = very bad news for all those affected by it. But...perhaps even more frustrating than dealing with this hideously unforgiving and mentally draining disease day in and day out is the general public's near-total lack of understanding of what it is exactly. So, if there is a month dedicated to raising awareness about Celiac Disease, including all its nefarious accoutrements (ahem, endless cross-contamination issues, sneaky hidden sources of gluten and the ill effects of getting glutened by food labeled gluten-free), then in a roundabout way, Celiac Disease Awareness Month is a good thing after all. 

Thank the living Lord for organizations like the Celiac Sprue Association for providing Celiacs with tons of accurate information about safe foods and products and the University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center for their tireless research and advocacy. Knowledge equals power.

Hallelujah...He lives in me

You're the One who conquers giants
You're the One who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe

You're the One who walks through fire
You take the orphan's hand
You are the One Messiah
You are I AM.

The veil is torn
And now I live
With the Spirit inside
The same One..the very same One
Who brought the Son back to life

Jennifer's Way = Yay!

Love love love what this lovely lady is doing to raise awareness for Celiac Disease. Thank you for lending your voice and raising the bar Ms. Esposito. And THANK YOU for clearly expressing that Celiac Disease DOES NOT mean one has a "gluten allergy." So much confusion out there about this autoimmune disorder. Girl is settin' the record straight!

Can't wait to visit the bakery. Gluten. Free. Cupcakes. 'Nuff said. Looks yum!

Delighting in the Lord's keeping power

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

Forgetting the past

...and looking forward to what lies ahead. (Philippians 3:13)

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow...
