What I'm Thankful For Day 5

Today I am thankful our school and for Bro. Bormann.  Six years ago when Carlie was getting ready to start school I had every intention of homeschooling her.  We had made a school room and then about 4 weeks before school was set to start I got cold feet.  I just didn't know how in the world I could do it with a 4 year old and a 12 month old.  I know now, that people do it all the time and all it takes is a little organization, but then I didn't know nearly as much about it. 
Anyway, we knew that we didn't want to send her to public school, but weren't sure what we were going to do.  I called Bro. Bormann who is the principal at our school and we met with him and knew immediately that we should send her there.  In the beginning we weren't really sure how the financial end of it would work, but God ultimately provided a way.  They have worked with us and allowed me to help out and have become like family. 
Now, that's not to say that they (the teachers, staff or kids) are perfect.  Of course there are issues that arise here and there, but just like with anything else they get worked out.  I am truly thankful that my kids have a place to go to school where having a relationship with Christ is encouraged, where it's standard to start the day saying the pledges to the American and Christian flags as well as the Bible, where it's okay to say the blessing before lunch and where having daily devotions and Bible Class is part of the curriculum.  I can't imagine them going anywhere else :)

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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

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...
