Discovery Closing Program 2014

Sunday, on Mother's Day, we also had our Discovery Closing Program. Each class always stands and says something about what they have learned, whether it be a Bible verse or just information learned during the year.



Trey and Blaine with their teacher, Mrs. Andrea. Trey made me so mad I just wanted to jerk his bottom down and give him a spanking. He knew his verse and where it came from, but decided at some point after we got to church, to write it on his hand. Then, he proceeded to read it from his hand in front of everyone! He did know it. I don't know if he was afraid he would get up there and forget it or just did it for a laugh, but this Momma wasn't happy about it! But I got over it pretty fast :)


This girl, Makena Faith, I am so proud of. She was the only one to show up in her class. She recited the Roman Road by memory in front of a crowd without a blink of an eye. She rocked it!



Carlie with the Discovery Teens
She had her part at home but didn't see that it was very important to memorize it. None of the teens memorized their part! I'm really struggling with this age. Just say a prayer for me. I've said it a million times on this blog, EVERY age has it's up's and down's! I love her so much, but dang it's hard to get along with her sometimes!
I am glad the kids had the chance to show the whole church what we do on Wednesday nights. It's not all about fun and games. We try our best to teach them too!!

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...
