End Of The Week Pictures

Trey wanted to swim with his hat on!

He had been diving for this red fish, that he named "red"
and for the blue squid that he named "Larry"????

These blurry pictures are from my phone and were taken
at TGI Friday's.

Me and Makena.  She has been super-glued to me since
school let out.  She LOVES her mommy :)

You'll have to click on this picture to enlarge it and see if
you can see the surprise.  Typical day on the farm!

T's masterpiece.  He loves to "draw" on the computer.
He did this the other day when he was on a pirate kick.

Before I go, I have to ask for a few prayers again.  First off, I want to ask you to please pray for the Barnes family.  I mentioned Tonya and her new baby Jagger a few posts ago.  I am very sad to report that Jagger passed away last night.  I also just found out today that this was not the first baby that she lost.  A few years ago she had a baby that was stillborn.  Please pray that they will find peace and comfort in this terrible time.
Secondly, Carl's brother-in-law, Jeff lost his dad today after a short fight with cancer.  Please pray for this family, also.  And finally, please pray for us.  We got a phone call yesterday that the loser guy got out of jail/rehab and is back home.  Carlie doesn't know this, and I don't intend on her finding out right now.  There is still no word as of when a trial will be, but please pray for us.  I am just praying that the Lord will keep us all safe and take care of this whole situation. Sometimes I wake up fearful at night and the only thing I know to do is pray.  Please pray for us too.

We found out Thursday afternoon that we are going to be taking our annual trip to Branson, on Monday!  Not a lot of notice to get things in order.  I've had to write 2 papers, take 1 test, and 1 quiz.  I should be done by tomorrow, you know me...down to the wire, my best work comes on a deadline (we'll see!!).
Can't wait to get out of here and put things out of mind for a while :)  Who knows, maybe the Lord will return and I won't have to come back here.  Whatever, I know we'll get through it.
I'm rambling, so I guess I'll be signing off now. 
Goodnight, all!

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...
