VBS: Monday & Tuesday

This week is Vacation Bible School at our church.  Our theme is Rev It Up: Full Throttle For God (race car theme) and the kids are absolutely loving it!  I'm not sure about last night, but tonight we had somewhere around 35 kids, which is pretty good for a community this size.  A lot of kids that we normally have were either out of town or at church camp and some have even moved :(  I am doing music (again) for pre-school through age 12 and I am so glad that Carl has been around to help me.  He has been my go-to guy :) 
Here are a few pictures of the week so far:
Trey thinks his sunglasses are awesome because Carl gave
them to him :)  They were watching Speed Bump (see below)
This is Speed Bump:  my dad!  Each night there is a little skit
that involves a character named Speed Bump.  As you can tell
by the looks on the kids faces, he is hilarious!  This is
probably their very favorite part :)

Makena, walking to the room with her classmates.

Look at all those handsome boys:  Avery, Noah, Trey, and Ashton.

Carlie talking with the girls before we got started!

Singing "Every Move I Make".  This is their VERY favorite
song to sing.  It makes me so happy to see them get into
a song like they do this one :)

***A little news not related to VBS:  #1 we went to court last Thursday and the loser guy got sentenced to another 90 days in jail for criminal trespassing.  The judge was sick that he couldn't be charged with more, so he gave him the maximum amount of time and didn't count the time he had already spent in jail/rehab.  Of course he has 30 days to appeal.  We'll just keep praying about that :)  It's a small victory, but a victory non the less.  Another good thing about it was that he plead guilty, so neither Carl nor Carlie had to testify.  Praise the Lord!!
#2 I finished two of my classes for the summer, today!! WOO HOO!!!!  I only have two to worry about now and one of those I have a mid-term in on Thursday, and I have to drive to LR to take it.  Not looking too forward to that , but I can't stop now.  At least that means I get to sell my books back (maybe that will pay for my gas!!).

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...
