Thursday after I updated we had our arts track time which includes dinner and then a professional artist will come in and talk about how they integrate their faith and art. This week we heard from this couple Ryan and Diana Warner. He is a dancer/singer/actor and she is a trained as a painter but works as a jewelry designer. They were a lot of fun to hear from. I think we all benefited from hearing how they make marriage work when they have careers that are somewhat in opposition at times (running a business and touring are two different lifestyles for sure) and from how Diana uses her business to help improve life for people, specifically she does a lot of job development stuff in South Africa.
Yesterday we had some mandatory fun to celebrate the 4th of July. I wasn't really looking forward to it (because of all of the work that still needs to be done) but I think that was a sign of just how much it was needed. We had a blast camping out on a pier in Queens to watch a fireworks show. It started raining and we made a massive tent under several tarps and our umbrellas - it was a blast (although we were a bit of a spectacle I suspect).
Ways you can pray:
-This weekend as we work on our art. Pray that we have the strength and wisdom to do what is best
-Overall health. We have just had a lot of issues with people getting sick or injured.
-That we will continue to seek quiet times with the Lord
-For the performance pieces that will be done this weekend - that they may impact people
