Our Weekend

The past two weekends at our house have been spent doing yard work--BOO!  But thankfully, Carl hasn't been too busy on Saturdays and we've been able to get some things done that have been pushed to the back burner.  Of course the best part of working hard all day is grilling out and relaxing in the evening!  We've been eating pretty good :)
Here are a few pictures from this past weekend:
Trey loves to help with anything outside and especially anything with his Daddy!
I'm not sure if you can see his little head in the drivers seat of the truck up there, but this is the old farm truck that Carl brought the tractor home with and all weekend long Trey kept saying that this was going to be his truck when he "gets big".  I'm sure by that time, he will not want it!
And the bottom picture are the beans that Trey and Makena helped Carl plant, so we always refer to that field as Trey and Makena's beans :)
 
The humidity was extremely high on Saturday, so after a full morning and a half of working, we decided to take a break and go swimming.  My parents were out of town, so it was just us, but of course Daddy was home, so nothing else mattered!
 
We took our evening stroll through the farm so Carlie could have another driving lesson.  Makena got to drive too, but I didn't get a picture of her.  They are both doing a great job!!  Much improvement from last year :)
 
After a pretty busy week of Revival and school shopping, it was nice to just hang out and enjoy our time together at home.  My kids are counting down the days until school starts...crazy, right?!  I believe the count is 15 days as of today!  I feel like we just got out of school and I'm not sure that I am ready to go back!! 
 
Ready or not, it's coming!!

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?"....
