The hubs and I have been discussing the possibility of a blog in our future for several weeks now, and tonight we decided just to go for it. We tried out a handful of names; "Easton and the EpiPen" was a contender as was "Perfect in Weakness." One was too silly, the other too serious. We ultimately landed on the pop-culture-rich "Keep Calm and Carry Epinephrine." It's admittedly unoriginal, but it's also something we say to each other often...almost every time we leave the house in fact.
Stepping outside of the small comfort zone that is our home has become an experience in anxiety management as the list of avoidance-necessary foods and substances has grown staggeringly lengthy. We do our best to take it in stride and rest calmly in the promises of our heavenly Father - promises to establish our steps (Proverbs 16:9, 3:6) and to work things together for our good (Romans 8:28). It is our hope that through this blog we will encourage other families dealing with food allergies to seek peace that surpasses understanding in the chaotic waters of allergic uncertainty. We also hope to chronicle our journey for ourselves and our family, so that we may one day look back and praise the Lord for all He has brought us through.
{And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.} Isaiah 58:11
