In 9 Months......

It hit me like a ton of bricks the other night that in 9 short months my baby will start Kindergarten!!  He got up in the middle of the night to get in our bed, which he hardly does, and when I asked him why he was in my room he said, "I just wanted to sleep with you" (in his sweetest little voice).  Of course I said yes, and as he was lying there beside me, breathing his morning breath in my face, I started thinking of how he is going to start school soon and that made me really sad.  The process of letting go, even if it's just a little, is about to begin. I told him the other day that he was going to have to start going to bed without his TV on because when he started school he couldn't do that and he turned to me and said, "It's not tomorrow, Mom!" 

Anyway, I got this idea from Amanda at Baby Bangs, only mine is an abbreviated interview with my T:

1.  What is something that Mommy always says to you?
      T:  Clean my room.
2.  What makes Mommy happy?
     T:  When I'm good.
3.  How does Mommy make you laugh?
     T:  tell me knock-knock jokes!
4.  How old is Mommy?
     T:  I don't know, 8?
5.  What is Mommy's favorite thing to do?
     T:  Clean the house
6.  What is Mommy good at?
     T:  Cleaning the house!
7.  What is Mommy not good at?
      T:  driving the 4-wheeler like Daddy.
8.  What is Mommy's favorite food?
     T:  Spaghetti and Chili
9.  What makes you proud of Mommy?
     T:  making my bed
10.  What do you and Mommy do together?
       T:  Go to the Library and get books
11.  Where is Mommy's favorite place to go?
       T:  Nanny's house

His answers cracked me up!!  I guess maybe I'm a little OCD on the cleaning....you'd think my house would be the cleanest house on Earth!!  And how sweet it is to know that I'm 8 years old, but I guess that seems old to him :)  And as much as I love going to visit my Mom (Nanny), that is more than likely HIS favorite place to go!
Oh how I plan to cherish these next nine months!

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!...

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 ...

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...
