We had such a good time yesterday at the Healing Humanity event. Chris did such a good job on his talk, very proud of him. It's always so fun to meet so many people in real life. The dinner after at the Brazilian steakhouse was chaos but very fun! I didn't get many pictures so if anyone else got some feel free to post them. I shared pictures from some of the other people that spoke.
Today we are going to church and then after that I am going to try and do NOTHING for the rest of the day. I had a really long week at work and just need one day of rest before this busy upcoming week. My Mom also flies home early this morning and is going back to snowstorms so please send her some warm prayers for safe travels. Anything we can be praying for you for today?
*Reminder the Livesream this week will be Thursday evening.
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Sunday!! Due to the leak and repairs we are going to be dealing with all week, I am going to go check into a hotel for a few days to work/sleep etc. We aren't going to be able to sleep in our bedroom while they dry out our floors, and I am in the middle of some big projects at work currently I need quiet during the day for meetings. The kids might come stay with me at night too depending on how it's going. Anyway, since it's going to be a very chaotic week ahead, I am going to wait and do my YouTube Livestream on Thursday instead of today. This will just let me have some family time this afternoon before the crazy week.
If you are shopping for Equip, they made me change my code this week, so it's just LAURASPATH without the E in the middle anymore. Which is probably easier anyway. 😂 I grabbed 2 more bags of the banana protein for the kids before it sells out forever. https://www.equipfoods.com/LAURASPATH
Headed to volunteer for one service and attend the other this ...
Happy Saturday!! We are in the calm before the chaos in terms of construction and repairs, several people coming to start fixing things Monday so we are trying to find have a normal weekend before we have to deal with that for the next few weeks.
I am taking Penelope to lunch and a musical today and Chris and Nathaniel as the going to hang out. Church tomorrow and then I will do a YouTube Livestream in the afternoon. Hope you have a great weekend!
What are your plans for the weekend?
Trying to keep it simple this weekend. Last room of carpet is finally in. Feels like a weight off my shoulders as that was a huge project done. I look forward to putting the house back together before school starts. Today I enjoyed juicy eggs, pickles...I ate several then had some electrolytes as it dawned on me I needed the salt, Ribeye. I would of ate more ribeye as I also made shrimp so there was some left but my son who requested the shrimp put the portion of his steak back in with the other steaks. Sorry Satan no cross contamination for me today. My husband made sure to point it out and educate him on why cross contamination can be serious with someone with a allergy.
