Wow!! What a week! My church hosted their very first Revival. It was three nights of worship and teaching and student ministry met beforehand for food and fun. I tell ya, it was transformative but man, I am wiped out.

Right Now:

Heading to church now to hang with the students. The Hub is working all three services on the security team so we will take separate cars and meet up later.

Later this afternoon the Halloween decorations will go up outside! If I can get The Hub to take them down from the attic. Sending me up on a ladder is not a good idea.

This Week:

This week should be a lot more manageable. I don’t have much scheduled. The only thing I need to do is plan for my little get-together on 10/18. It’s a dessert night and I am selecting the desserts now.

I need to buy some fall outfits. I HATE to shop for clothes but lately it’s been necessary since I am back in the office part of the week. I’ve been buying pieces here and there and it’s beginning to add up to something.

Son update, after getting laid off he has received a job offer! He will be working with youth and event programming. It pays more than what he was making at the museum and the benefits are better. Win.

Reading:

Not much, honestly. The new King book is screaming for my attention but some personal stuff has pulled me away from reading, yet again.

Watching:

I never did see Hocus Pocus 2 because the night we had planned to watch it The Hub decided to fix a toilet.

Grateful for:

• Ice. Without details, I managed to injure my good leg.
• This pup. She is a good little nurse.

Have a great week!

I am still waiting to hear from some of you who were affected by Ian. I hope and pray that your properties were spared. It HAD to be terrifying to witness. The images coming out of Fort Myers are unbelievable.  Praying that the clean-up can begin soon and that power is restored quickly.

Right Now:

My routine on Sunday is pretty static. Student ministry from 8:30am-1pm but today my husband begins training for his new volunteer position (security for the church). So while I am wandering around with the students, he will be with the main service being trained for that team.

This Week:

This week is a busy one. My church is hosting their very first 3-day revival 10/3-10/5. Basically it’s three nights of teaching and worship but our student group is meeting early for food and then we will attend together.

My daughter’s 19th birthday is this week as well. 19!

On a not so great note, my son is getting laid off from the museum after four months. Their finances are not good. He moved out there for that job and has a lease and bought all that furniture so he is applying in the area hoping to find something soon. Root Beer the cat isn’t concerned at all. She just hops in the stroller and says it will be okay. Prayers and good thoughts appreciated.

Reading:

Finishing up the new Irving book. When a book is nearly 1000 pages and so good, you can’t blow through it. I need to pick up a shorter book to read alongside it.

Watching:

Hocus Pocus and its sequel are on my list to watch this weekend. The new season of Cobra Kai not pulling me in, so far. Maybe it will pick up.

Grateful for:

• Bullet blenders that can whip a handful of spinach and blueberries into a fortifying smoothie. I’m trying to up my nutrition and this is a quick way to do it.
• Docking stations that allow me to connect my new MacBook to a larger screen and keyboard.

Have a great week!
