Just to say I've Posted......


Makena before church Sunday Morning
Trey is my little computer nerd!
My Carlie:  if you look closely you can see she has
NO BRACES!!! Yay:)
The most exciting thing that has happened around here in the past week is that Carlie got her braces off on Thursday.  She only had them on for 6 months!  That has got to be the shortest time ever to wear braces!!  We go back in ten days to get our retainer so everything will stay in it's proper place.  She really didn't want them off, but I think she is used to it now and likes it. 
 Friday night we went to revival at a friends church.  Since it rained at the end of last week Carl didn't get to work in the field on Saturday, which meant that he did get to work on the demolition of our storage building.  He had to turn the electricity off and re-wire some things because our hot water heater was wired out in the building--CRAZY, I know.  It always scares me to think of him working with elecricity, because let's face it, he isn't a certified electrician, but since he had my grandpa here to watch over him I felt a little better.  He did all the work on his on and did a very good job!! The building came down last night!! Now we are just left to pick up the junk and get it out of the way.  We (I) had a deadline set to have it done by Easter.  I didn't think it would happpen, but I think Carl was determined to prove me wrong!!  We decided to treat ourselves to a night out at Nick's BBQ in Carlisle that night.  It was my first time to eat an actual BBQ there--usually I get fish--I wasn't disappointed!! It was really good. 
 Sunday we had a guest preacher fill in for Bro. Jeff who got put in the hospital for what they thought was heart issues, but ended up being nothing much.  He stayed in the hospital from Friday until Monday for them to find that out though--GO FIGURE! 
We are counting down the days until Spring Break--not that we have anything great planned, but at the end of that week I am taking a group of girls to a pre-teen retreat at Greers Ferry along with another lady in our church.  We might throw in a trip to the zoo at the begining of the week.  I'm praying for pretty weather. 
 I have to take a minute to explain the picture above of Trey.  He doesn't sit at the computer all day.  If it's pretty out and we have finished all our school work and house work, we are outside.  He just likes to play while I'm cleaning and it keeps him out of my way.  Some of his favorite sites are PBS Kids, Nick Jr., Playhouse Disney, and PBS Kids Sprout.  He also does coloring pages on John Deere Kids Corner, but I don't know the exact web address. 
Maybe I'll be a better blogger in the next few days:)  Hope everyone has a great day!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
