This And That

Grammy and Trey
Maxee, Trey, and Carlie were tired of swimming
and decided to draw.
Carl and Makena at El Canaveral
Carl had his mouth full :)

Makena, being silly.
Last Thursday Carl brought this home to "try out".
It's all he's talked about ever since!
My Sweet Carlie

Nana and Papaw T.R.'s house

Wow, I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted!  I hate having to play catch up, but here it goes..
I'll start on June 10Th.  This is the day that Carlie accepted Jesus as her Savior!  I'd say that would be the most important and life changing news.  I've stated many times on here about her being under conviction and that I have prayed everyday that she would quit fighting it, and it happened--FINALLY--at a VBS meeting of all places!!  I was so relieved and I know she was too.  Her baptism is set for June 27Th. 

We have been spending most days just trying to keep cool.  We had a little bit of a stomach bug last week, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  As you can see above, Carl found him a new toy!! He loves this thing and keeps telling me that it would cut his mowing time in half!!  My argument is..."But we don't NEED a new mower"!!  We'll see...
Saturday we went to Wynne to visit Carl's parents.  We had a great day and of course had great food!  I can't believe I didn't get any pictures....I guess I was having an off day!! The girls (Carlie, Makena, and Keely) planned a mini vacation/girls week(or few days) with Nana :)  Hope you're ready for them, Nana!!
This week is going to be pretty busy because we are having Vacation Bible School at our church every night.   I'll be doing music... for the preschoolers....please pray for me!!!  I'm sure I'll have lots more pictures to share :)

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?"....
