Band Recording

by Tonya LaLonde, posted in assurance, encouragement

So tonight our band dressed up for a recording gig. It was so fun.

Cheesy me was taking pictures sneaky – like while we are being video-taped for the website (I’ll let ya know when it is up). It was great but some footage has to be re-shot because a zoom was inadvertently pushed and one person’s top of their head was chopped off.

And that is how life goes sometimes. Sometimes, life is a lot of work and maybe you get a yield. And Christianity is like that. You put tons of effort into the kids or adults at church or unsaved friends and you just get nothing to show for it. But with working like that for Jesus, we have great news because working for Jesus is always fruitful and beneficial, even when we don’t see it. God looks at the heart. He cares about our motives. We want to help, want to love Him, want to help save people. And maybe we plant a seed or water one we know nothing about or save them in time. And even if they choose eternity without God’s goodness because they just prefer being bad to being saved, Jesus still rewards the effort, thr motive. And we have practiced and learned for next time. Nothing is wasted. Let us keep pressing on. Never give up. Good is always rewarded (maybe eventually or in eternity). ❤

1 Corinthians 6:13-

by Tonya LaLonde, posted in Bible, Bible verse

1 Corinthians 6:13. “You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16. Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” 17. But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. 18. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;” – Bible Offline

Preparing Paleo-Friendly Yucca

by Tonya LaLonde, posted in health, Paleo recipes

I had never had yucca root before I started my new Paleo health nutrition lifestyle and there are many ways to us it, a lot like a potato, but I wanted to share the way I just ate and enjoyed it.

Peel the yucca.

Chop with very heavy knife.

Boil in water until tender.

Drain excess water.

Add desired amount of unsweetened almond milk (I like unsweetened almond and coconut milk)

Season with sea salt and pepper

Drizzle with agave nectar

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and some Chia seeds if you have them.

Mash up and enjoy.

I ate half for supper today and saved half for tomorrow’s meal.

It is like nutty mashed potatoes but so much healthier.❤
