Follow The Star!

Makena, the Chief Priest, with Anthony who played
King Herod

Carlie played Mary

Trey was also a Chief Priest and he said
his parts very well.  I was proud of him.

Makena singing her solo.  I did get it on video, but my Internet
has been acting up, so if I get a chance I will put it up
later.

Robert, who played Joseph (I know, a red-headed Joseph!!),
Carlie, and Cash (young Jesus)

Carlie and Bonnie were getting ready to sing their
duet.

On Sunday night we had our church Christmas program which was titled, "Follow The Star".  It was your typical Christmas only this was told by the Wise Men.  We were kind of in a panic at first because one of our Wise Men (played by a girl) had car trouble coming in from LR but finally made it after we stalled for about 15minutes!  I was getting a little nervous because I was going to have to fill in for her!  I didn't really know the songs or the part, so I was really glad to see her walk in the door!
Other than that, the program went well and the kids did a great job :)  Trey even sang out on the parts that he knew, and it was really cute.  Maybe I'll get that video to load. 
  Trey asks me everyday how many more days it is until Christmas.  I can't wait to see his little eyes when he gets one of his presents, he will be SO happy :) 
We've been busy over the past couple of days trying to clean out toys in the kids rooms so I can make room for more.  The only problem is that nobody wants to get rid of anything!!  I may be raising hoarders!! 
I'm about done with my Christmas shopping.  One more trip to LR, and I think I'll be done :)

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
