27. Contemplating Heaven

In this interview I talk to Ryan about the reversal.  We talk about what the procedure was like, why he got a vasectomy in the first place, and how he feels after the reversal. Spoiler: he's VERY happy he reversed, even without a pregnancy.Ryan's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_32cX3zrL-WcIi1yODN3DAOriginal Vasectomy Sorrow Video: https://youtu.be/meKsRQlQslUYouTube Video (see video description for more details)Discuss the vocation of marriage with other Catholic women at the  What Laura Likes Community! www.community.whatlauralikes.com2022 Podcast Video Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOCE13bnSFt5_durQOeippxaNOnjmqCztWEBSITE: https://whatlauralikes.comSOCIAL LINKSCommunity: https://community.whatlauralikes.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/whatlauralikes2018IG: https://instagram.com/whatlauralikes18Email: [email protected] the show

If you need a virtual hug as we wrap up our homeschool year, this episode is for you! The end of a school year can bring with it a lot of guilt and distress for a homeschool mom, whether we didn't quite get through a curriculum book or we schooled way less than we had planned. I'm here to say: you're just fine! Your kids are different today than they were in September, hopefully for the better!

It's time to discuss our unique crosses.  We all have a cross that God has chosen, that God who is All-Good and All-Loving and All-Knowing.  So who are we to question Him as to its heaviness, it's long-suffering, it's prickly parts?  I hope these two stories will give you pause and help you think though how you are approaching your own cross.YouTube video (see video description for more details)Prayers, resources, friendly virtual hugs and more at the What Laura Likes Community!  Help other Catholic women and wives carry their daily crosses- and, perhaps,  find help for your own: community.whatlauralikes.comHomilies Mentioned: Our CrossChanging Our CrossWEBSITE: https://whatlauralikes.comSOCIAL LINKSCommunity: community.whatlauralikes.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/whatlauralikes2018IG: https://instagram.com/whatlauralikes18Email: [email protected] the show

As Catholic women, living our vocation well is how we become saints.  My hope is that this system, focusing on each of these buckets, will keep you touching each area daily so that all blossom into a beautiful bouquet that is your life.  Buckets: 1. God - your relationship with God2. Self - we can't love others until we learn to love ourselves3. Husband - our husband should be our joy, our love, our most important relationship with another soul here on earth4. Children - gifts from God, these souls need our attention, love, and. nurturing5. Schooling - homeschooling, catechesis, parent/teacher conferences; all education goes here6. Homemaking - cleaning, organizing, habit-training, budgeting7. Meals - cooking, meal planning, grocery shopping8. Externals - ministries that have you looking outside of your vocation to serve the outside world (last for a reason!)
