Complete Randomness!!

This is Trey's new shirt that Amber made.
She does a great job!

Carlie was practicing her moves.

Makena on her scooter.

I couldn't resist this shot--love these shirts!

Last night about 9:30, Carl went outside to get something
from his truck and he heard something eating our scraps--
Trey said "it's Swiper the Fox!!" :)

Not a lot has gone on this week.  Carlie is working on a 3D book report on Noah's Ark and we have been working on getting the pool cleared up without having to drain it--it's getting drained this weekend!!  Thanks to the rain, Carl has been off early all week and we have had fun just playing outside in the evenings.  As we are winding down the school year, we have already made some very important decisions regarding Carlie and Makena's schooling next year...we are HOMESCHOOLING!!  Just writing that makes me extremely nervous but it is something that I have been praying about for at least a year.  I am very happy with our school, but I really feel led to do this.  We just need a change.  It may be that next year they are right back in those seats at GPEMS, but this year they will be at home.  We will be using the A Beka video curriculum (which is what they currently use at school) and I am really excited about starting!!
 Next Friday is the last day of school and next Friday night is graduation and closing program at the school.  I'm sure I might shed a few tears because I do love our school and I know I will miss them, but I know this is the right thing to do, right now.

That is so awesome, Beth! I may be hitting you up for some info on homeschooling. It's something that I've been passionate about since before I was even pregnant with Lydia and since we had her, I'm even more passionate about it. Want to try to find out as much information as I can about it, though. I know I have several years before she will start pre-K ... but trying to plan ahead! =) Praying for y'all as you start this new journey! I've heard nothing but good things about it!

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...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
