Day One

I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now, so today I decided to just do it. I decided to stop over-analyzing what to call it and what kind of theme to have. The purpose of this blog is to talk about my life: how God is working in my life, my gluten/dairy-free diet, my friends, my family, and my life goal of living simply, without excess, knowing that I have all I need in Christ alone.

I am currently attending Association Free Lutheran Bible School in Plymouth, MN. It's about 10 minutes West of the heart of downtown Minneapolis. I love everything about Minneapolis, other than the fact that my precious baby brother, Jorgen (who is actually 10 years old now),  and my loving, amazing parents are still in Montana. (I miss the mountains too...) My friends that I've made here have been such a blessing from God, and learning about His Word has been seriously life-changing. I'm excited to see where He takes me next.

Early this year, I decided to try going without gluten and dairy because something was making me sick, but I didn't know what. So I've been gluten-free for about 2 months now, and feel really great. Its hard to avoid both the gluten and the dairy, but I have truly been trying. I've found some delicious meals and snacks that I can have, and it has definitely paid off.


I think that's all for now! 


"If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds." Matthew 6:25-26 [The Message]
