Mid-Week Update

Happy Hump Day Bloggers!!  Our busy week here is in full swing and headed on the downhill now!  We had our first "away" game in basketball last night.  It was at the public school gym in Stuttgart and went pretty well.  We still lost, but we played a much better game and the girls seemed to have a really good time!


FUN, FUN, FUN!!

I got a little ahead of myself, let me go back to Monday.  Monday we had Parent Teacher Conference at school in the morning (all three kids had all A's!) and then we had basketball practice from 3 to 4 that afternoon.  Tuesday was back to work/school (even Carl finally went back!) and then a ball game at 6:15.  Today the kids and I went to school and Carl stayed at home and cleaned!  That's right, he didn't have to work because it was too cold.  Let me just say that I love my husband to the moon and back, but if he doesn't go back to work soon, I'm going to go NUTS! 
 Anyway, tonight we had Discovery at church and finally made it back home around 8:15.  Before church tonight our constable came by and told us that we have a court date on Friday morning because the loser that broke in our house appealed his 90 day sentence!  I just want it to be over already.  I thought it was over and I surely didn't want to drag that mess from last year into the New Year.  I guess it's time to get this settled now. 
On top of all of this, I started getting sick last night.  At first I thought it was just because I screamed so loud at the game, but it has slowly gotten worse and I started running a little fever.  I remember  this happening to me in High School.  Every time I would have a super busy week, whether it be with football games, marching contest, concert contest, or exams, I would always end up getting sick. The stress really does make me ill!!  Carlie and Trey are getting it too :(  I hope we make through the rest of the week without crashing since we have two more games to get through and a trip to Morrilton. 
I wouldn't have it any other way, though :)

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!...

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...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
