More Talks With T

Trey is just the one of the funniest little people I know.  I wish I would have had a video camera in church Sunday night.  We don't have Children's church at our church (Sunday School on Sunday mornings and Baptist Training Course on nights), just a nursery that goes up to age 3 and maybe sometimes 4 (just depending on the child).  So Trey has been in "big church" since he was 2.  He is used to it and does pretty well most Sundays.  So Carl was leading singing and he picked the song "Love Lifted Me".  Evidently Trey loves this song because he was singing all of the chorus at the top of his lungs! People were starting to stare at us!   It was so cute, but very hard not to laugh.  He wasn't doing it to be funny, but it was funny because he was so serious (and loud)  :)

The other night we were in the car and as we pulled under the carport Carl told Trey that if he wasn't doing anything tomorrow that he needed to pick up some of the trash down there.  Without skipping a beat he says, "Hey Daddy, I think I will be doing something all day tomorrow"!!  Needless to say, the trash is still there.  I really didn't push him picking it up because even though it wasn't my trash, I'm the one who didn't take the time to take it to the can when I was cleaning out the car....oops!

Those are just a couple of the Treyisms of lately.  Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday.  I have been pretty busy cleaning up the house and checking on my school stuff.  I start back on May 23 (next Monday!!) and will be carrying a pretty heavy load for the summer.  Please pray that I will do well.  Trey and I will be going to LR tomorrow to pick up all of my books.  I have to say that in all of my college career, I have never spent what I have this semester for books, over $600.  Thank goodness for financial aid :)

Before I forget, could you please add our pastor's son, Luke to your prayer list too.  He is on a downward slide, we just don't know how fast this will be.  Pray for Bro. Jeff and Mrs. Cheryl too.  We love, love, love our Luke.  I've already tried to prepare my girls for what may happen, but they don't want to talk about it much.  I know that if it was God's will, that he could heal that little boy of everything right now.  I can't wait until the day that I can see him walk and hear him talk.  I don't know if it will be here on Earth or in heaven, but I know that one day he will be made perfect.

"And he said unto me,
My grace if sufficient for thee:
my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most
gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest
upon me."  2 Corinthians 12:9

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...
