Weekly Update

Well Summer has hit!! It has been warm since May BUT the past week has been miserable. The heat index rises with each day to the point that you feel like your skin is melting if you stay out for more than 5 minutes. The dog days of summer are definitely here. It is this time of year that I feel bad for Carl and whoever else has to work out in it! Needless to say, we have stocked up on water bottles and Powerades.
We have had a pretty good week around here. Makena turned 15, Carlie got her honor roll certificate in the mail, we got all of our school books and dvd's in, and Trey got his new school desk.
How cute are these cupcakes?! Thank you, Sam's Club!!

I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of this girl!
She is one of the most driven and dedicated people I know. She sets goals and crushes them one by one (in order of course because she is a little OCD). Right now her goal is to graduate from Abeka Academy in Pensacola with full honors, attend college (the location is still to be decided), and then attend pharmacy school. If she accomplishes all of that I will be proud, but if her goals change and she accomplishes none of that, I will also be proud. As long as she puts God first, I know she will do big things by His standards...and that is really all that matters, right?

I can honestly say that I have never seen someone so happy to get school books😂😂

T was pretty excited too. How can my baby be starting 6th grade?! Unreal.

We love this desk!! It was on sale earlier in the summer and we were searching for an actual "school desk". I will let you know if he is still loving it in May🙄

Please excuse the mess in the floor but it was early Saturday morning and I hadn't really got moving yet. As you can see, Trey had and was even serenading me with some AC/DC....amp and all!

Our little birdies are starting to hatch!

Grilling is his "thang", and he really is good at it!

One last picture from Makena's birthday.
I am super proud of this girl too! While she may have gotten her procrastinating skills from her Mama, she is a solid student in school (she missed the honor roll by an 87 in Orchestra..you have to have all A's for the whole year and she had all A's for the second semester) and she is so talented musically. She has a notebook that she has been composing her own songs in and from what I hear (i have to sneak to listen), they are good!
We are working on getting her to play more at church. She is a little shy at times. 

That is pretty much all that we have been up to lately. I have started planning schedules and getting binders in order for school. I'm a little nerdy, so it does excite me a little! We are still enjoying our lazy summer days😁😁

Much Love,
Beth

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?"....
