Life as a gluten free vegan

So life a gluten free vegan isn't the easiest thing. I had a great day out with my good friend "Elly" today. We went to a craft fayre which interestingly enough consisted mostly of sweets chocolate and jewellery....go figure! Needless to say I bought nothing!
There was also a stall with some amazingly sweet smelling natural products. I wanted to to buy it all...so expensive! Walk away slowly.
Why was "Santa" offering us sweets?? I don't think Santa and I can be friends. He kinda freaks me out!
Then it was on to the vegan food open day! Great!!! Food! I was famished!
Being my naive self...I held on to hope that there might be at least one thing I could eat....ummm try nothing!!!
Everything was baked and wheat filled! *tears* the fun day out ended with a hungry little wheat intolerant vegan going to the chip shop...(1st time in years) and ordering chips. Life as a wheat intolerant vegan....good times!

Me me me!

So you know when you realise that you aren't actually the centre of the universe....it's like what....? You mean I've been living a lie all this time??! God has a way of showing us things that stop us in our tracks and, if we are attentive, rethink our way of thinking. If we aren't attentive...it will probably just make us momentarily unhappy but ultimately we carry on with life as we have always known it. I'm sad to say that for a large part of my short life, I have done the latter. Merrily floating along thinking "it's all good" when in reality...it's not even remotely good. Recently I've been learning me in an interesting way and I've come to realise that when God shows us who we really are...it's not always a pretty picture. Sometimes it's downright scary! So how does one deal? A wise man once wrote that many people are afraid of God's will but the sweetest and best thing one could ever do is to surrender one's own will to the FATHER and have His will instead. I'm learning that this fear is actually irrational...that in fact "Perfect love casteth out fear" but there's a catch...*gasp* For the fear to be cast out...we first need perfect love! And there is only one source...Neither Tom, Adam, nor Jerry can give me perfect love...this only comes from the Father...He is so misunderstood!

So here begins the documentation of my journey towards perfect love...stick around...I think it's gonna be an interesting one.
