There is so much stuff that we put into our bodies that finding what may be the culprit is almost impossible. Having had stomach issues since 7th grade and see countless doctors to see what may be going on, I had almost given up on what to do. However, a family friend recently went gluten free and her symptoms were very similar to mine. So...as a trial, I am going gluten free for a week to see if there is any improvement.
This morning I had scrambled eggs and a banana with peanut butter and an hour after I ate I felt better. Promising? I think so. Even if its not the reason my stomach is always sore...it is definitely a healthy way to live. I am looking forward to what the results are going to be....more to be posted :)

Day 1: Living to the fullest
Day 1. I am not sure what made me decided to put my thoughts into a blog, all I know is that there was a very strong desire to create one this morning so here I am. A lot has happened in the few days so maybe it was unconscious desire to get it out there.
This past Sunday I went to Church with Aaron, the best boyfriend a girl could ask for, and the sermon hit me more than anything has in a very long time. It was a sermon about the feeding of the 5,000 from a few pieces of bread and maybe a fish. One of the key versus from the sermon was from Ephesians 3:20 "God is able to more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." It also just so happens that my mom has that verse posted around the house, but this time when it was said in this setting it really hit me that the bible story about feeding people, God did that.
This got me thinking of all my worries and anxieties in my life, (I need a job, I need to lose weight, I need better grades, I'm never going to get into grad school, my hair looks really bad today, the list goes on). However, if God is at work within us and He can do more than anything that we can imagine, why not trust the prince and guard of our hearts to take our life and make it more than I could have ever imagined? Those bad hair days seem trivial when you think about it like that.
A big event that is coming up in my life is EAGALA training in Ohio. It is training for Equine assisted Psychotherapy. I am doing an internship with Hope Well ranch after I get back and I really feel that if I let God and let Him work in and through me than this summer could be more than I ever imagined. Equine assisted therapy is what I would call my dream job and something that I felt led to by the guy upstairs in amazing ways. More news to come on that front :)
