Church Christmas Program: The Light Is Come

Tonight was our annual Christmas Program at church.  I knew absolutely nothing about it, I didn't even know what the name of it was until I put it in the bulletin last night!  This was our first Christmas program with our new pastor, Bro. Jon Landers.  Everyone really likes him and we had an awesome crowd this morning.  And to top it off, one of my Discovery kids came before the church this morning telling everyone that he asked Jesus to come into his heart!  He has been asking a lot of questions about salvation for over a year now.  I am very proud of him :)
Three of our four angels:
Emaleigh, Brooklyn, and Kynnlea
Collin the cow
Part of the manger scene.  Makena was Mary and the little boy in the green, Gage was Joseph.
My Dad played the Janitor in the play
Everybody got a kick out of his hat!
Trey had a small part in the actual play, then played a king in the manger scene.
He really liked being a king, but did really well on his speaking part too!
Makena played the janitors granddaughter :)  And the whole time she was smacking on a big ole piece of gum!  I don't even know where she got it from!!
Everything was so crazy tonight, that I guess I forgot to get a picture of Carlie during the program!  I feel terrible, and Carlie, if you're reading this, it doesn't mean I love you any less!  She has been working super hard finishing up on her research report on Benjamin Franklin that is worth a TON of her semester grade!  She will do great, but has been a little frantic trying to put it all together :)
 
It's been a wonderful Sunday!  I really wish we were finished with school for Christmas, but we have to go until Thursday at 11:30 :(  We have two basketball games on Tuesday, church on Wednesday, and our school Christmas program on Thursday night!  Then maybe I'll have a bit of a break.....I'm sure looking forward to it :)

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...
