A Whisper

I think my favorite thing about blogging is going back through my archives and reading all the tedious details that I've tortured you with.  They give me great joy.  However, I never fail to think that I was a much better blogger in seasons past.  I wrote more frequently and my posts were much more clever.  On one hand, I would say that its because mothering and managing our home is requiring so much focus that I'm lacking in the creativity department.  On the other hand, I think life has just gotten harder.  It's not all fun and games and I can't portray it that way.
For many reasons things have been pretty intense in our family for the past 6 months to a year.  It would be tempting to think my family alone in this, but I know better.  I look around at others and we are all dealing with big stuff.
This is where I struggle when it comes to blogging.  I really do want to write about major life events and struggles going on in my life, but sometimes it just isn't smart.  I have to think about the way my sharing will effect the ones I love.  Thank goodness I'm not stuck inside these four walls with only my computer.  God has given me some amazing friends and family  members to walk through life with.  I know I can fulfill that need to share and be encouraged through my close in-the-flesh relationships.  But when I feel like I can't write about something important going on, it sort of brings my blog to a whisper.

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
