Hello, Again

Did you fear I had forgotten all about my dear readers? Please, dismiss that thought this instant. What really happened was silly, a sign of the age we live in. The shift key quit working on my keyboard. I was unable to log in to write as it requires using the shift key to type the "@" symbol. So therefore, I could not get on. Since that time, we have gotten a "new to us" refurbrished computer that I am mostly happy with.

So much happened just in the two months since I last write, I don't even know where to start. Now we are a glute-free family, as Erianna does indeed have Celiac disease along with her diabetes. Since eliminating gluten from her diet (gluten meaning wheat, oats, barley, and rye containing products), her blood sugar numbers have been under control and mostly normal. I have learned how to make gluten-free everything- pizza, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, spaghetti sauce, banana bread, cake, and more. I will post some of my favorite recipes on here.

Since we last talked, I have grown a year older, now I am the old age of 28! Thirty is just around the corner, but I think Jesus will come back before that time so I will be eternally 28 or 29. My dh (dear hubby) gave me pink fuzzy jammies with "Happy Bunny" on them that says "I'm not spoiled, I deserve all my stuff." For those of you not knowing who Happy Bunny is, he is a cute little white bunny who says rude obnoxious things, though some of those things are what we are probably really thinking.

We have started our second semester of homeschooling for this year, and are now in our fourth quarter. The break is in sight! If everything goes as planned, we will be done May 2. Woo-hoo! We have started again with our homeschool network for classes, and that has been a real treat. The kids are all enjoying seeing their friends again.

But how am I doing on my pursuit for joy, you ask? Oh, dear one, I feel farther away from that goal then ever. I have begun a process in the last few weeks of finding out who Jennifer Dunn really is, what she looks like and sounds like, and am resolved not to be anyone else than who God made me to be. I must take responsibility for the place I find my self in now. Admittence is the first step to recovery, so I know I'm on my way. I will try not to be a downer as I write to you, so I want to give you a step to greater joy:
I am joyful as I admit that I alone am powerless to change my situation and must rely on God.

Do you know who you are? Do you recognize that face in the mirror? Are you being true to who you are and how God made you? Think on these things. Shoot me a post.

With right hand raised, I vow to be more diligent in writing to you.

With love,
Jenn
