Sunny Days and Sidewalk Chalk

What a Beautiful day!!  We have really enjoyed the past few days.  Saturday I was supposed to attend a Vacation Bible School Seminar in Pine Bluff but Carl had to work and I didn't want to bring Trey along, so I stayed at home:(   We decided that since there wasn't anything else to do we would go to the park.  I did take my camera along but I ran into an old friend and I didn't get the opportunity to take any pics.  We had only been there for about 30 minutes when Carl called and said that he was coming home, so he came by the park and watched the kids play for a while, then we all went home. 
 Demolition is in full force at our house.  Carl finally finished my storage building and we are working on tearing the old one down (YES!!)  I'm really hoping that it will be done by Easter, but since Carl is already in the field, it may or may not happen.  Yesterday after church the girls and I took a bike ride while Carl and Trey burned some old boards and junk from the building, and it felt so good to just ride and talk with them.  They are growing up on me way too fast!  I'm about to have a ten year old, an eight year old, and a five year old.  I don't have any babies anymore.  On the bright side, they are now old enough to do more things and it is so much easier going  anywhere. 
Today I took the girls to school then I came home and started doing my usual stuff.  Trey and I spent the majority of the afternoon outdoors.  We rode bikes, jumped on the trampoline, and played in the sandbox.  Then my mom got home with the girls and brought some sidewalk chalk and sidewalk paint!! So guess what we did the rest of the afternoon!  Carl will die when he gets home because he HATES sidewalk chalk--I can only imagine what he'll say about the paint!!

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?"....
