Discovery Closing Program 2013

Tonight was the Closing Program for our Discovery classes at church.  It is always nice to let out for summer, but by the time August rolls around, we are all ready to start a new year!!
I teach the Warrior class.  The did a great job telling the church and their parents about the Fruits of the Spirit, but I don't even have a picture of them.  Carl is normally the picture taker for me when I'm up doing something (i.e. leading the kids in singing or presenting my class), but thankfully we've had dry weather and he's been working pretty late and wasn't able to be there.  So, no pictures of the Warrior class :(
Trey's class is the youngest class, the Helper class.  They have been learning the books of the New Testament by memory and have been doing a great job, not needing much help at all.  Well, they did pretty good last night, but I think they got a little nervous and forgot a few.  I was very proud of them, though.

After my class was the Champion class.  Makena, Emily, and Spencer are in Mrs. Andrea's class.  They had been learning and memorizing the Ten Commandments.  They mostly read them last night, but I know for a fact that they knew most of them by memory.  Makena always gets nervous in a crowd.  It doesn't matter if she's playing the piano, singing, or saying a part in a play.  I'm just proud that despite her nerves, she still gets up and tries.

And the last class that we have is the teen class.  Carl typically helps with this class and my Aunt Becky teaches it.  They told about some things they have been learning throughout the year.  They did a great job but had two of their classmates missing.
Bonnie, Bailey, Joe, and Carlie. 
Yes, Carlie is the odd ball of the bunch, not wearing her Discovery Teen shirt.
She wanted to dress up :)
 
After the program we had cake and ice cream for the kids and their parents.  It was a good night!

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...
