What A Week!

Whew! What a week it has been.  The heat has been almost unbearable down here and the kids are getting slightly bored with summer.  I don't know about you, but this happens almost EVERY year right before school starts.
I have been working all week long on getting our school stuff organized.  The kids have their things organized but I have more books than they do! 
These are my books for 5th grade.....alone!

These are for 10th grade

And these are my 9th grade books!

Here is a list of the classes I will be "teaching". 

The only classes that I am nervous about are Orchestra I and Spanish I.   I took Spanish in both high school and college, but let's face it, that has been a while ago.  Orchestra is a horse of a different color.  I sure hope Mr. Jaffe is a darn good video teacher because I already know she has to send audio samples of her playing for the school in Florida to grade! I'm just a little worried about how involved I will have to be with teaching those two subjects.  Technically, I am only the on-site teacher, and they are "taught" by the teachers at Pensacola Christian Academy in Florida.   
We took a few back to school pictures Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.  Trey wasn't in the mood and was too busy "working" with Carl to participate (plus his hair wouldn't go down!).  He knows that his day is coming, though!!  I have taken quite a few pictures of the girls, but I am only going to post the ones that I have already shared on Facebook and Instagram until I take T's. 


How is she already a Sophomore?!

And my baby girl is a Freshman this year!!

Two beautiful girls.  I may be a little partial :)

I am pretty pleased with how they turned out and I can't wait to do Trey's.

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?"....
