Gulf Shores 2018

We made a quick trip to Gulf Shores, AL last week and had a blast! Of course it wasn't nearly long enough, but I think all five of us made our time count.  Carlie is still our little group activity leader. She likes to browse venues and suggest things that we all might like to do.  I shutter to think about our family vacations as we know them ending soon.  If all goes as planned (haha) she will be starting the Baptist Health School at the beginning of next July.  It is a scary thought for this Mama, but more on that in another post!
We left early Monday morning and came back Thursday night.  Carl and Carlie both worked on Friday...boo! I think that is the shortest time Carl has been off for vacation, EVER. 
 Here are a few pictures I took while we were down on the coast. Due to our circumstances, I was determined to spend more time enjoying my family than taking pictures of my family enjoying vacation, does that make sense?
Ready to be out of Mississippi!

When you've been riding so long and you are extremely bored, you give yourself a mustache!

Finally out of Mississippi..I swear it is really the size of Texas!

Carlie Erin got this nifty frisbee because she got a kids meal at Sea n Suds. It is one of our favorite places to eat in GS.


These two spent countless hours on the balcony!

Back through the tunnel we go.

We had an enjoyable trip and made lots of memories!

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?"....
