A Few New Things & Friday Night With Friends

My sweet friend, Jill got me this cute little green owl.  It is really a garden owl, but I just couldn't put him outside!  He's too cute :)
 
A local gift shop started selling these t-shirts a couple of months ago but were sold out when I went to get one, so I ordered one.  They called this week and said it was here!  I've never been a pink person, but I love this neon pink.   Makena asked me what Sugar Town was so I had to explain to her that if you take all the t's out of Stuttgart, it spells sugar.  People have called it Sugar Town for years!
 
The girls have been begging me all week to let friends come over, and despite me trying to find an excuse for this not to happen, I could think of nothing.  I mean, they did have all A's on their report cards and they haven't been in too much trouble, so I was stuck!  It's not that I mind them having people over, it's just that it's such a hassle trying to get things "company" ready and I don't have room in my car to carry all these people home!  Well, of course it worked out fine.  Carl has been getting off early, due to the fact that they can't be in the fields planting their crops (pray for an end to the rain!), so he was able to get Trey so I had room for 4 girls in my car!  That's right, 4 girls!  They had a blast and I thought that Trey would stay out of their  way and hang out with Carl, but no, he wanted to be right in the middle of them! 
All five of them.  Can you see where T is?!  In the basket on the 4wheeler with Makena and Oriah!

This is one of Makena's best friends, Oriah.  She is Mexican.  I don't know how to say this and just know that I don't mean anything bad by this, but Makena has always been fascinated with Mexicans!  It started when she was little with Dora and Diego!  When we were at the lake over the summer she hung out with a little Mexican girl the whole time we were there!  And this year, Oriah started going to our school.  I don't know what it is!!  Oriah is very sweet and very quiet.  I hardly knew she was here.
 
It has been a busy and fun week!  Did I mention that we only have 6 more weeks of school?!  :)

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?"....
