Who Cut the Cheese?

... It certainly wasn't me, that's for sure.
Why, you ask?

BECAUSE I CAN'T STINKING EAT CHEESE!!
...or any dairy for that matter...
...or wheat
...or beef
...or pork
...or chocolate
...or caffeine
...or any citrus fruits

*sign*
I'm gonna starve to death.

Ok, let me back up a bit.
My hives/rash/thing still hasn't really gone away. I started on a rice diet awhile ago (meaning I eat nothing but rice) and that seemed to be helping, leading to me strongly believing this is a food allergy.
But seriously... it is so itchy, I can't stand it. I have been getting like 2 hours of sleep a night, and none of the "stop itch" things have been working.
So Cindy (our mother figure here at camp) got concerned for me and did some calling around. She found this Chiropractor in Rocky that does natural allergy testing. So I called him up and got an appointment for this morning. I went in kind of skeptical cause I didn't know a lot about what he was going to do.
He ended up doing these like muscle test things... and it was weird, but he could tell things about me just by feeling certain muscles and stuff. In the end he told me I had an intolerance to the things above... so basically I get to eat rice and chicken.
Apparently, I can get rid of the intolerances by going in for regular chiropractic care. I looked it up on the internet and it seemed legit... we'll see though I guess...

For now, though....
It's the slim pickings for me.

Scratch.

Ok,
I'm here because I need prayer again.
I'm having a bad reaction to something...
What, I don't yet know...
And I have hives all over me.
They get worse every day.
I went in to the emergency the other day,
Cause my throat was swelling up.
The doctor said it was probably something I ate.
Like either:
-Dairy
-Grains
-Fruit
-Food Dye
-Nuts
Well thanks.
That eliminates like sugar.

So I guess what I'm asking prayer for is:
-Perseverance to get through this without ripping my skin off
-Wisdom to know what to do (go in for allergy testing, try and test it out myself...)

Oh,
And neither Benadryl or Reactin work.

I feel like one big ball of itch.

Prayer Request:

Please pray for the staff here at Frontier tomorrow (Sunday).
We are hosting the annual Wycliffe Adventure Race to 2025 again this year.
The days are LONG and busy, and after only one day we're all ready to call it quits.
Tomorrow we all have to get up at 5:30am to meet and then prepare breakfast and then go all day.
So yeah, prayer for energy, endurance, good attitudes, and Christ's Spirit would be SO amazing.

This is a huge opportunity for us to help further the Gospel across the earth, so maybe just prayer for that would be awesome too. That God would really bless this, and that the money raised would be wisely used and deeply effective.

To find out more about the Adventure Race I think www.wycliffe.ca might have some more info about it.

Thanks everyone!! You are all huge blessings in my life!

Not in a Hole Anymore...






I suppose I should let you all know that I'm not still stuck in that hole that I dug...
It's now filled in and forgotten about.
Thank heavens.
...Of course my days of digging are far from over...


I'm very unmotivated to write these days...
So much has happened.

I'm at home right now.
Yup, I surprised my family and friends by just showing up at midnight on Saturday.
It was great.
Then on Sunday... everyones faces when they saw me.... priceless.

It was SO amazing to see everyone.
I went to church and to C&C, and we played soccer, and went for coffee...
It really made me miss being here.
At the same time though, it was really reaffirmed to me that Frontier is where God wants me.


But I need to go pack up and get ready to head back...
Hopefully I'll have time for more of an update later.

Love you all.

Liz

Ps. Please email me with stuff that I can be praying for you!!
